"The Present - Insights"

Spread the Truth

It is good the truth has been hidden: It actually hurts the truth to see
it before the time is right. It forces the truth into myths and it kills or
makes its prophets outcasts. This is the reason almost no one has seen
the truth before now.

Jesus and other prophets have planted seeds that needed to be
planted, but they paid a high price to do it. The seeds of truth they
planted are now starting to grow and blossom, and this is helping to
make our salvation possible. By hiding the truth and the life until now,
the collective unconscious protected the truth and us. The time has to
be right for the truth, or it just causes trouble.

The collective unconscious can give us information we did not know,
and it can also prevent us from seeing things if it is not in our best
interest to see them.

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:17

Jesus said, "The hour is coming when I will not speak to you in
dark sayings, but will tell you plainly about God."

Now is the time: The time has finally come to see what has been
hidden from us. It is time to put the pieces of the puzzle together so that
people can see the truth and the life clearly and completely for the first
time. The evolution of technology, such as the Internet and other forms
of mass communication, has progressed enough to reach just about all
of mankind.

The Bible says, "We shall all be changed in the twinkling of an
eye."

The veil can be lifted now for the first time in history. It can be lifted now,
so it will be lifted now. The truth did not have a chance before the
Internet.

It says in Revelation the scrolls are rolled up until a time when
people run to and fro and knowledge is greatly increased. That
time is now, and this book is unrolling the scrolls and revealing
what is really said in the Bible.

One mind: It is the real reason why worldwide communication
technology evolved. The worldwide Internet is mankind's effort to
connect all minds on a conscious level, to create one conscious
collective mind. The telephone lines and cables that transmit the
Internet are like the nerves in a giant brain. People online are like the
neurons firing. The Internet is making the world one brain or mind, and it
will make it possible to see and spread the truth, transcend the mind,
and be fulfilled.

If it was not for the Internet, you would not be reading this now,
would you?

The Internet is the perfect way to explain and discuss the ultimate truth.
It is almost impossible to get the truth across to someone in person.
Discussions do not work. It usually starts an intense argument, and the
truth does not have a chance. It makes everyone involved look stupid,
even if you have a civilized discussion. The ultimate truth should not be
discussed in person at all; it should be checked out alone, and after you
understand it, spread on the Internet anonymously.

Whole picture: The best thing to do is just tell everyone you can reach
on the Internet to read The Present. Helping to spread the truth is what
you need to do.

Tell people at every website you visit; link www.truthcontest.com in
forums, social networking, blogs, video comments, newsletters, etc.

People who see the truth need to spread it, or it will die before it gets
going. There are thousands of forums and newsgroups. People just
need to join them and tell people to go to the Truth Contest. Do not
worry about doing it more than once; repetition is necessary.

It is better to spend your time making a lot of comments to spread the
truth than spending that time defending something the books say, or
trying to explain something to someone. It is okay to do it once or even
twice with the same person, just to break up the monotony of making
comments, to talk to yourself on a subject, but more than doing it a little
bit of the time is a waste of time.

www.truthcontest.com

One good way to get a link to the Truth Contest on forums is to copy a
part of The Present that addresses what the forum is tall<ing about, and
post it with where you got the quote from, as shown below.

(excerpt) - from The Present, a free book at www.truthcontest.com
What do you think about this? Agree or disagree?

You can also post comments on Youtube videos directing people to the
website. Since you cannot put a link in Youtube comments, you can say
something like this:

If you are seeking a new and different explanation of the truth that
makes sense, search for "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st
result, then click on "The Present" and read what it says. This is truth
you can check.

You can make specific comments to fit any video, or use general
comments like the one above. You can also make dozens of Youtube
accounts and get into the top comment position by voting up your
comment and voting down other top comments.

One way to tell people to go to the contest is to copy and paste the
following letter in an email or a facebook message:

(Subject): A life-changing book about truth

Have you read the short book "The Present" yet? It's available free
here. Just go to the website: www.truthcontest.com - click on the entry
called "The Present." What it says will turn this world around if it reaches
enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first page.

Code name: Open a new, free account with Gmail or the other free
email services under a code name. It is fast, easy and anonymous. You
do it anonymously, because most people will read just enough of the
book to get mad. Only about one in twenty five people will understand it,
even if they read the whole thing, so spreading the truth anonymously is
essential. We are doing battle with the devil. Jesus got nothing but hate
when he tried to spread the truth, except from a few followers who did
not know what he was talking about, so you should not expect many, if
any, positive responses at first, but planting the seeds is essential to do
now. The Internet makes spreading the truth fast, easy, safe
and painless.

www.truthcontest.com

When Jesus spread the truth, people cursed at him, spit in his face, and
eventually tortured and l<illed him for trying to spread the truth. Thanl<s
to the Internet, an anonymous letter, and not looking at the responses,
we can spread the same truth he did faster and without any pain at all.
No one should look at hate mail. A spiritual being never allows anyone
to give them their negativity and hate. I send the letters while I am
watching TV and do not even look at who I send them to.

The short letter above gets most people to go to the Truth Contest.
Send it to anyone and everyone. We want everyone to see the site, so
just send them randomly. Just search a random subject on the Internet
and then just go down the list. Open web pages, find their email contact,
click on it, fill in the subject "Truth Contest" or something else that grabs
attention, paste the letter, and send it.

If you don't have much time to spread the truth online, help enable
others to spread the truth online by making a donation:
www.truthcontest.com/help-the-truth/

Contact the webmaster (email: allthatyousense@gmail.com) for details
and more ways to help spread the truth online, including Youtube
commenting and group projects.

I have a Gmail account just for sending the letters. Just do one of the
methods above to spread the truth for a half hour per day. Make it part
of your daily routine. If you send too many email letters too fast, they
may shut you down. I like Gmail the best. If you know of any other free
accounts or ways to spread truth, let me know.

BS vs. BS: We have to use any way we can to get the truth out,
because we are doing the people we send the message to the biggest
possible favor, and nothing is more important. We do not have much
time to get the word out, so work on it every day. We have to use every
little trick we can think of to get them to look at the contest. Sometimes,
you have to use some BS to fight BS. There is good BS and bad BS. If it
helps reveal the truth it is good BS; if it doesn't, it is bad BS.

Tricks: The Bible says "do not let the right hand know what the left
hand is doing." A little sleight of hand is needed to do battle with the
beast. We have to beat the devil at its own game. If you are a computer
expert and can figure out how to send the letter to a few million people,
you could save the world.

If those African bank managers that have unclaimed millions can send emails
to millions of people, we can too. They have been sending that BS to people
for years, and no one has stopped tliem. If they can use the Internet to rip
people off, we should be able to use it to spread the truth.

Help yourself: Sending letters will help you, even if it does not help the
people you are sending them to. You will be doing God's will by trying to
spread the truth. Every morning, send the letters, and do your spiritual
exercise. Having done your spiritual chores, you can go out and play. It
is the only way to start a spiritual day.

You have to give to take. Until everyone knows the truth in this world, you
have to tell them it to be able to live the life. It is as if you have to earn life.

Jesus said, "Come follow me." In other words, try and spread the truth.

What Jesus did: Everyone that knows the truth will spread the truth
every day, even after everyone has seen it many times. People will do it
for themselves. To be a true Christian, you have to do as Christ did. You
have to spread the ultimate truth, just as he did. Very few people liked
what he was saying, and it will be no different now, because we are
saying the same thing. The only difference is, we do not have to do it in
person. If you want to feel like Jesus (live in grace), you have to spread
the truth. If you are not doing it, you are not a true follower of Jesus,
because that is what he did and why he did it. When he said come
follow me, he meant it. If you want to be as he is, you have to do what
he did. Everyone does until the world turns into a heaven or you die and
go to one in your next life. You do not do it exactly like he did, because
he did not have the Internet; we do.

Teach to learn: You have to teach the truth you know to others to learn
new truth. If you do not, you do not progress. This is why Jesus said,
"come follow me." It means what it says. People have it backwards and
think they have to learn it completely themselves before they try to
teach others. This is a mind trick to stop the truth from being revealed,
because people who do not teach what they know will never know the
ultimate truth themselves, and the truth will not spread.

It is like a step ladder, the stairway to heaven. When you get on the the
first step, first see truth others cannot see, you must spread it to take
the next step; it is the next step. This may be the most important
hidden truth, because it is the start of the path that leads to a heaven
for you, and a heaven on Earth.

Works: With the quest to get to a heaven, you just need to be studying
and spreading the truth to get there, so that is why the truth gets priority;
it is all you need. It leads to the life sooner or later. You do not push
that, cannot push that, you just let it happen while learning and
spreading the truth, because that is in your control, not the life. True life
is a gift or a reward for doing the work of learning and spreading the
truth. The life comes after you have spread the truth enough to have
achieved it, and it will not come sooner, no matter how much you try
with meditation and other spiritual exercises.

Escape this realm: I hope you never find yourself in a desperate
situation, but they exist in this world, and what goes around comes
around, and will come around again for everyone that does not escape
this realm. You do it by working to change it with the truth. It either
changes, or you do. The result is the same; you escape it.

Build the collective unconscious: The more people that see the Truth
Contest and read The Present, the more that will do it. The more people
that wake up, the more people that will be able to wake up. This is
because the ultimate truth gets stronger in the collective unconscious. It
gets stronger and makes it easier for people to see the truth. It will
snowball, but until then, seers like us need to work.

Critical mass: For a while, the ultimate truth will move unseen
underground just on the Internet (it is happening now). If we work hard
and grind away (send a lot of letters and comments), at some point,
enough people will have awoken for mankind to reach a kind of critical
mass. When this happens, there will be an explosion in the truth and the
life, and just about everyone will wake up in the twinkling of an eye.

Turn the tables: Ninety-percent of the Internet is used for pornography,
to sell products, spread gossip, and rip people off. That is not what it
was created for. It was created subconsciously by God for one ultimate
purpose, and that is to spread the ultimate truth. We are going to turn
the tables on the devil/mind, and use its greatest creation (the Internet)
to reveal the devil/mind and banish it from the Earth, but we have to do
it fast if we are going to do it at all.

www.truthcontest.com

Numbers game: Do not reply or even read what is sent back, because
the letter or comment is just meant to get them to go to the contest and
read this bool<. If they read it, they will make their comments directly to
me or the contest site. If they do not read the book or understand the
book, they will not have anything nice to say, so why read it? There are
a lot of fools and fanatics out there, and it is best not to waste any time
on them. Just use your time wisely and send as many letters as you
can. Most people you send a letter to will not read it or go to the contest;
it is a numbers game. We have to send out a lot of letters to get one
person to read the book, and only about one in twenty five that read it
are ready to see the truth in it.

Silent treatment: Most people will just say nothing and not be
interested. How can people not be interested in their own life and
death? What is more important? It is the most unbelievable thing. This
shows the power of hypnosis and the illusion.

Seed planters: We are planting seeds of truth. Jesus said that some
seeds will fall on rocks and not grow; others will fall where they will be
trampled on, but some will fall on good soil and grow and multiply a
thousand fold.

The prophet: The absolute truth is the "now." I like "the truth is the
present," because it adds a factor to the now. It says the now is a gift,
which it is. People waste their life contemplating the words of old
inspired prophets instead of updating, defining, and spreading the truth
and the life. You know enough now to work on defining and spreading
the truth and the life. It is the purpose, the path of everyone that wants
to take the next step in evolution. You take the next step by actually
taking the step; you actually do something, walk down the path so to
speak. You become fishers of men. You are not doing it unless you
are working to spread the truth every day.

It is the life of the prophet. You must become a prophet; move from just
the mankind you were born into this life as to a prophet. You give birth
to yourself this time. You become the son of yourself, of your mind. The
Bible calls it the son of man, which means the son of mind.

www.truthcontest.com

Becoming a prophet of truth and life is the next step for manl<ind to
tal<e. If enough people do it, it will turn this world into a heaven. If
most people do not, this world will not change into heaven, but that
doesn't matter to a prophet, because if you do your work, when you
die physically, you will be reborn into a world that is a heaven. It will
probably be here on Earth after it has become a heaven. To you, it
will be instant with no time passing in between death and birth, but it
could take millions of years for mankind to make the change. So
what? You will go to heaven soon.

I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
(Revelation 2:22-23)

Why you give: It is important to understand that you can be 100%
committed to something without working on it all the time, or giving all
you have. For example, you can be completely committed to a marriage
without being physically with the person you are married to all the time.
You have to do other things, such as work, put time into your pets,
children, friends, home, neighbors, relatives, etc. You have a balance
and give to other parts of your life, because indirectly it helps the
marriage. You give the marriage as much of your time as you can. It is
the same with being completely committed to the truth of life. You can
be 100% committed to it and be a hundred percent committed to the
rest of your life, because it is the big picture that covers everything else,
the foundation for everything else.

You work on it as much as you can directly, but live it all the time. You
work on it directly every day for a half hour minimum, because that gets
you in touch with it everyday, and that is important to keep you on the
path. It makes the other 23.5 hours different.

You also give all you can financially, 10% minimum, for the same
reason. It is necessary to make giving to the Unifying Truth Project a
constant part of your life. It makes receiving the divine truth a constant
part of your life. You become the truth and life in time if you are
consistently committed to giving time and money to spreading it. This
transformation happens even though you are spending 90% of your
money and over 90% of your time on other things.

8

www.truthcontest.com

I understand that some people cannot afford to give anything. If that is
true, you do not have to give anything, and you will still be as committed
as you can be to the truth and the life, and become the truth and life. It
is all about giving a small percentage of your time and money
consistently over time. That is what causes you to actually change into a
new being, an immortal spiritual being, like Jesus was.

I give more of my time and money than the minimum; I give almost all
my time and money to it, because I am in a position in life that I can do it
now. I did not used to do it all the time. Jesus did not do it full time until
he was thirty. What I am trying to explain here is it is not necessary to
give all you have to be completely committed to it, but you have to give
a percentage consistently, when you can.

Proactive: The time to just study is past. It is now time to study and
spread what you have learned and now know. You live what you know

as much as you can, but you cannot live it without studying it, and most
importantly, actively trying to spread what you know for at least a half
hour every day. You are what you do. A prophet spreads the truth; that
is what defines a prophet.

People are hypnotized to not be able to see the truth, so it will take
work.

Check it out: Anyone can check the things said in The Present and

learn that they are true, but the hypnosis makes them believe they
already know the truth, so they do not bother to check it. They do not
really know the truth, because if they did, they would enter the contest.
People should notice this, but they do not.

Whole picture: For people to understand the truth, they have to get the
whole picture, and only a book like this one can give it to them. This
book is the absolute minimum that needs to be said for people to get it,
and most need to read it more than once. I know this because it started
out much shorter, just ten pages. I liked it better, but no one got it.
Trying to tell someone the ultimate truth without the supporting
information just does not work.

Like mercury: The truth is like mercury and will slip through your
fingers. You have to surround it with the knowledge of how things work.
You have to corner it before you can see it and live in it. This is why you
need to read the whole book.

www.truthcontest.com

Talking to yourself: When you talk to others, you really are just talking
to yourself until the time is right for others to wake up, but it is important
to talk to yourself by talking to others as much as possible. You know
what is logical and what is not. You know what the evidence supports
and does not support. If you stop talking to yourself by trying to reach
others with the truth, you lose the truth yourself. The lower collective
unconscious where mankind is now and all the lower animals on Earth
are will suck you down to their level if you do not keep talking about the
truth and the life. You do it for yourself by trying to tell others.

Your reward is true life, and it comes directly from working on spreading
the truth. The more you spread it, the more you get it. The love you
take is equal to the love you make, and you make the most love with
the truth you spread. Even if no one gets it, you do, and that is why you
really do it. Other people will only get it when they get it, and when they
start working to spread it like you. It is so magical the way it happens,
and it is so obvious once you have been doing it seriously and
consistently for about six months. When you get someone else to do it,
it makes a major life improvement. The life just starts pouring in even
when you do not work at it, because you get the benefit of their work,
because you found them. The intelligence in the universe just knows
everything you do, and pays you for doing it in true fulfilling life.

The coin of the realm: Life is the coin of the spiritual realm. Spreading
the truth and finding others to spread it is how you earn it. It is just a
perfect system, and it leads to the best life here and heaven after death.
How can you beat that deal?

Jesus said, "A prophet is never recognized in their own village."

Socializing: You can share the ultimate truth with your mate or close
friends in person if they have read the book and see life the same way
you do. If they do not, you have to meet them at their level of
awareness. If people cannot come to where you are, you have to go
where they are. You do this if you want to enjoy your time with them and
want them to enjoy their time with you. It is only good manners, the
loving thing to do. People like their own reflection, so just reflect
whatever they are projecting back at them. You do not impersonate
them; you just take what they feel and how they think, and reflect it
through your own personality. You reflect back at them a better version
of themselves. You just agree with them mentally and emotionally. It is
the kind thing to do, and spiritual people are always kind.

10

www.truthcontest.com

A spiritual person never lies to another person who knows the truth, but
people that live in the mind cannot handle the truth. You have to play
the mind game they are playing. That is the way it is and will be until
everyone learns the truth.

Save people: When you put your hands on a conversation and try to
control it, you are selling something, and you should never try to sell the
truth in a social situation. You just live in the present and take what they
are putting out, add true life and fulfillment to it (the present), and reflect
it back to them. If they are into sports, music, religion, whatever, you just
be in it with them. Why not? You can only give as much truth and life as
other people are able to receive. Everyone is on his or her own
evolutionary level and you cannot change that.

It is like the problem scientists have studying things on the
quantum level; the very act of looking at it changes it, so it is
impossible to see it.

Destroy the present: You have to be yourself, but on whatever level is
in the air when socializing. You cannot talk about the present without
destroying it in the process. When socializing, you talk about light
subjects. You do not have to think to do it, so you can do it in the
present. It is always better to live in the present than talk about it, and
you really cannot do both unless you both know the truth.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him/her drink.

When you learn the ultimate truth, you just start living in it and doing
what you did before you knew it. The only difference is that you begin to
live life consciously.

All you have to do is remember everything balances, so there is no
reason not to enjoy every single moment of your life, no matter
what is happening.

"The Present - Insights"

Now is Our Chance

Win-win is the way, the only way to create a heaven on Earth, and we
have to do it now, or we will miss our small window of opportunity.

We have to do what is in our Constitution and Declaration of
Independence.

The definition of an American is someone that lives by our Constitution
and Declaration of Independence. Example: If you are a racist, you are
not a true American, because one of the documents true Americans live
by says all men are equal. To be a true American, you have to believe in
justice and equality for everyone in the world and work to give it to them.
If you do not, you cannot call yourself an American. Everyone in public
office swears to uphold our Constitution; they all just have to really do
what they have already sworn they would do.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings,
and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an
impartial eye. Buddha.

Technically, you are an American if you are born in America or become a
citizen, but you are not a real American as defined by our founding fathers
unless you believe in truth, justice, equality and freedom for all. You have
to live as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence dictate to be a
real American. Nothing could be more un-American than racism.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

The documents that America was founded on and all true Americans
will fight for says "all men are created equal." Not just white men or even

just Americans; it says all men are created equal. It says what it says,
and a real American lives by those words. If you do not, you are not a
real American. Even the people that wrote those words did not live up to
them, but we have to now to survive.

Written for now: The truth in those documents, just like the truth in
religious books, was written for now. In the past, almost no one could
live up to their ideals; now almost everyone can. Everything done in the
past was done for now. It took mankind a long time to get into the
position where we could live up to our ideals, to see the truth and live in
that truth, but we have finally made it.

12

www.truthcontest.com

Fourscore and seven years ago, our founding fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created equal. Abraham Lincoln

People that believe in censorship and do not believe in freedom of the press
and other things in those documents, such as separation of religion and state,
are not true Americans. An American is defined by those sacred documents.

We create win-win situations from now on in everything we do.

We need people like General Grove who ran the Manhattan Project that
developed the nuclear bomb during World War II to run the new free energy
project. We could use the military's expertise in controlling manpower and
organization by putting tinem in cliarge of all tine big, new public worlds
projects, such as the solar power system, in our country and other countries.

The biggest, most expensive dam in the world, China's Three Gorges
Dam, cost twenty two billion dollars and employed half a million people
for ten years. It now produces cheap electricity for ten million homes
and businesses. It also prevents floods that have killed millions and will
provide irrigation to produce enough food to feed millions of people.
That twenty two billion was well spent.

Just think how much good we could do with the money we are
wasting away. We need to fix our country, then other countries.

Instead of dropping billions of dollars on the military to kill, we should just
drop the billions of dollars from airplanes. As Abraham Lincoln said, the
best way to defeat an enemy is to make a friend out of them.

Once Americans see the way, they will go that way. It's that simple.

Heaven on Earth: All the wars that have ever been fought, the rivers of
blood that have been spilled, have been just for one purpose, and that is
to create a heaven on Earth now. All the soldiers that have ever fought
and died in any war did it to get us to where we are now. Everything we
have done, good or bad, has just been for this one purpose, whether we
consciously knew it or not. If we do not do what we need to do now, it
will all have been for nothing. Soldiers are soldiers; it does not matter
what side they were on. They all believed in a cause and thought they
were doing the right thing. They have been victims of the beast.

13

www.truthcontest.com

Follow through: If we do not go the distance and follow through, all the
soldiers that died in all the wars will have died for nothing. What an
incredible waste our time on Earth will have been. We are playing for all
the marbles now.

The time is right: All the battles, blood spilled, suffering and death in
the past did not fundamentally change things, because the time was not
right. It could not happen then. What it did do is get us to where we are
now, and the time is right now, so their sacrifice will not have been in
vain if we follow through.

This is the greatest and most important opportunity in history, period.

The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people
who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything
about it. Albert Einstein

America is asleep at the wheel, and if we do not wake up soon,
we crash.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall
pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any
friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the
success of liberty. John F. Kennedy

Kill solar power: When and if the price of oil drops, it will not kill solar
power this time, because it will not be in the hands of the free market.
Even if they start giving oil away for free (like sunshine), it will not stop
or even slow down the conversion to solar power as it has done many
times in the past. The free market is controlled by money, by profits, and
we are not going to convert to solar power for money and profits, even
though it will be the most profitable thing in history.

When America wakes up and sees the truth, they will see we have to do
it and do it fast, just to survive.

Nature will kill us just for not paying attention.

As I point out later, we need a world government just to survive genetic
engineering and other new technologies that will kill us if they are not
controlled.

We live in a dangerous world, and we have to stop living like a
bunch of morons just to survive as a species for much longer.
We have no choice.

After we unite the world, we need to put most of our money into down-to-
Earth science and pure research to make life safer and better for everyone.
Wasting money on things that will not really help us will l<ill us.

How can people think we can survive without facing the truth?

It is impossible; it is certain destruction and the ultimate waste. Even if
everyone woke up, and we started spending all our money on the right
things, our survival would still be a close call, but if we do not wake up,
we will have no chance at all. Even if we all wake up in the next year
and do everything right, it will still be a close call, because we have
been living with our eyes closed for so long.

No evil can happen to a good man, either In life or after death. Plato

If a lot of people learn the truth in the next few years, the odds are really good
that we will create a heaven on Earth. If most people do not learn the truth,
the human race will be destroyed, so I think we will learn the truth.

The odds are we will create a heaven on Earth; the odds are with us.

If we do not live in the truth, the human race will be destroyed, and we
will not go to heaven when we die, so we have to live in the truth. It is
the only chance we have and the only chance mankind has. When you
live in the truth, you work for the best, but are always prepared for the
worst. It does not matter if it is a bomb, a car accident, or old age that
kills you; you are just as dead. Therefore, the only thing that really
matters is that we live in the truth and the life and do the right thing
while we are here.

We all are going to die no matter what we do, so we have to do the
things that transcend death while we are living, or nothing else we
do will matter.

What happens to the Earth is not in our control. It is in the absolute
control of God/life, the balancing force, and as long as we know it and
live in the truth and the life, we cannot lose. The only thing we can do is
open our eyes and do the will of God or die trying. All we can do is see
and try to do the best we can.

The truth forces people to look at the hard facts and make
big decisions.

In this world, about two people die every second in one way or another.
The world ends every time someone dies, because it ends for them.
The world is going to end for you no matter what. It ended for everyone
that was born more than a hundred and fifty years ago, so it is not
something that can be avoided.

Since death cannot be avoided, the only thing that matters is that you
are reborn in heaven after you die. If we create one here, you will be
back here.

Rule of the beast: The animals have ruled this world for seven-hundred
million years. We now have a small opportunity to change that forever. It
took us about seven-hundred million years to get into this position, so to
not take advantage of it would be the biggest mistake we can make. It
should be our top priority.

The only thing that matters is that we end the domination of animals on this
planet while we can. Then when we die, we will be reborn instantly from our
perspective into a heaven. If we succeed in turning the Earth into a heaven,
we will come right back here. If we do not learn the truth, and there is still
animal life on Earth, we will come back here as one of them.

Dominion over the animals: The Bible says in Genesis that God gave
us dominion over the animals of the Earth, or the beasts of the Earth. It
is not talking about the animals outside our heads; it is talking about the
beast within. It has not happened in the past, but the Bible is about now.
The truth gives us dominion.

If this world never turns into a heaven, the people that do not learn the
truth and the life before they die will come back here in the near future
also. Their life could be just like it is now, or a lot worse if the conditions
have gotten worse.

If people remain animals (mankind), when they die, they are reborn
back here, and the balance will determine their circumstances. If their
life was very good this time, it will be really bad next time. If their life
was really bad this time, it will be really good next time. Most people will
be in the middle, and their lives will be much like it is now. However, if
they learn and deny the truth, they go to hell, the bottom of the food
chain as described in this book in the section on hell.

The evidence: It is what the evidence says will happen because it has
happened before. The only thing we l<now for sure is we were born
here, and we are living this life. There is no evidence that anything else
happens or that anything else can happen, so the odds are very high
that it will happen again.

The evidence says, we have died and been reborn in the animal
realm millions of times in the past on this planet. The evidence
also says, for the first time, we can be reborn in a new realm, the
realm of God on this planet.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth. Matthew 6:10

If we have to die doing it, it does not matter. All that matters is that we
do it or try to do it while we can, and we go to heaven, a place above
animal life.

The truth is scary: The truth is scary, but it is the truth, and it has to be
brought out into the light, especially the scary parts of it. It is the truth,
the whole truth, that sets you free. The real truth gets you to a real
heaven. BS gets you BS.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real
tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Plato

Comfort zone: People only want to read things that entertain them,
make them feel good, reassure them that everything is okay. No one
wants to do or face anything uncomfortable. This book is not that kind of
book. This book is about the truth, the whole truth, because it is our only
hope. This book is only scary and uncomfortable until you see the
ultimate truth; then you will love what it says.

Spirit food: Most books feed just the mind; that is what makes them
popular. Books that are intended to feed the spirit, like this one, also
have to feed the mind just to be read, but it will never be as enjoyable to
read as a book that just tries to please the mind. I have to tell you things
you will not like to tell the truth.

It is not the taste of the medicine; it is what it does that matters.

The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion
and the will to help others. Albert Schweitzer

Big changes: At this time in history, we have to mal<e big changes, or
the little changes we make are not going to matter. If we don't, we will
go extinct, and that is the biggest change there is, so we have no choice
but to mal<e the changes.

The Bible says to "fight the good fight."

Our job is to feed everyone. We need to feed everyone's body (with
food), their minds (with truth) and their spirits (with life). If we do it,
we will create heaven on Earth. The Bible says we have to do it,
and we have to start now.

The definition of a spiritual being: A human being that knows the
truth and the life and lives in the present; a being that is fulfilled, filled
with truth and life, God/life. A being that has separated its spiritual-self
from its mind-self. Spiritual beings have control over their minds;
mankind does not. All life is a cherished gift from the perspective of a
spiritual being, even the bad things. A spiritual being always does the
right thing, regardless of personal cost or danger. People have to die
anyway, no matter what. That is the rub, as they say.

If you are not prepared to die, you had better get prepared, because it is
going to happen one way or another, and it will be soon, no matter what
anyone does.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully
is prepared to die at any time. Mark Twain

Bags are packed: A spiritual being knows the truth and the life, so their
bags are packed so to speak, and they are ready to go anytime they
have to.

Big picture: A spiritual being lives in the present and always sees the
big picture. By big picture, I mean we see past death, and we do what
we do with our next lifespan and all future life spans in mind. Death is
not the end to us; it is just a necessary bump in the road of our
eternal lives.

No big deal: We see death more as the start of a new life than the end
of our current one. When you live in the present, you always see the big
picture; it is self-evident. Just seeing it changes your life completely.

The only security in life is knowing the ultimate truth.

Truth is the only safe ground to stand on.
Elizabeth Stanton

The right thing: A spiritual being always knows what the right thing is,
because they are not deceived by the irrational passions and
deceptions of the mind.

Can't lose: You have to know the truth in order to know what is right
and what is wrong. We know we have to make life and death choices.
When we do the right thing, we choose life, even if it gets us killed.
When you live in the truth, you cannot lose. When you live in the
deceptions of your mind, you cannot win. This is why it is important to
check out what you currently believe the truth is. Most people will find
that they were wrong, that they were misguided, and will change their
ways. Everyone has to take a serious look at things and do it soon.

The overman, who has organized the chaos of his passions, given
style to his character and become creative, aware of life's terrors,
he affirms life without resentment. Friedrich Nietzsche

The goal: To transform ourselves into spiritual beings and then to
create a heaven on Earth. It will all start with the ultimate truth being
defined and spread. Everything else will happen as a result, so start
sending the letters (see: Spread the Truth).

How can people think believing in something that is not true gets
them to a true heaven? If their truth is not real, their heaven will
not be either.

Have it all: America now is the most materialistic and least spiritual
country in the world. When Americans learn the ultimate truth, they will
become the most spiritual country almost overnight. We will have it all,
materially and spiritually, and be in a position to give it all to the rest of
the world and we will.

Only the truth and the life can save mankind and create a heaven
on Earth.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

"The Present - Insights"

Modern Prophets - New Revelations

Prophets are teachers, not leaders.
True prophets set you free from leaders.

The mind mix: The collective unconscious does not communicate in
words; you do not hear voices. You get an idea or concept, and your
own mind has to put it into words. The message has to work through the
mind of the prophet, and mix with the mind of a prophet.

In the case of Jesus, the revelations that came to him had to mix with
the mind of a person that lived two thousand years ago. He is going to
receive divine messages that mix with what people know and believe at
that time in history, so the message will reflect what they know and
believe. That is why he used the metaphor for heaven as a kingdom. He
did not know about democracies.

A prophet that lives today will receive messages or inspirations that mix
with a modern, more knowledgeable mind. Jesus only knew what could
be known two thousand years ago. We have learned a lot since then, so
the new revelations of the truth are much more complete and accurate.

Jesus said, "I did not come to destroy; I came to fulfill. Not to tear
down, but to build up."

Jesus built on what the prophets that came before him said. The
prophets of today will build on what Jesus added. Prophets have been
building on each other since the beginning, and they will continue to do
it until everything is revealed and most people will be able to see the
ultimate truth for the first time.

The past cannot teach us what to do as much as what not to do.

There is very little ultimate truth to be found in the past. Most of what
comes from the past is false and misleading. Just studying the ancient
prophets is not enough to realize the truth and the life; their testament is
incomplete and distorted. You have to study the old with the new to see
the complete picture. You just use the truth of the past as a guide to a
new, more complete and accurate explanation of the truth. True new
revelations build on the old revelations of the past.

Jesus said, "The Holy Spirit will teach you what to say at the time
when you are required to speak."

What Jesus says above is one of the most important or revealing
sayings in this book. It shows that Jesus knew the words he said did not
come from him, that they passed through him, that he did not know what
he was going to say before he said it. People have to really read what
he says, not twist his words around.

Anyone can be a prophet: In the saying above, Jesus is clearly
pointing out that anyone can be a prophet if they make the connection.
He is saying the words of the Holy Spirit will come out of your mouth if
you let them and the time is right for you to say them. This means you
do not need a leader, just the Holy Spirit.

All a prophet is, is someone that can see the truth and tell others what it
is. Everyone should be able to see the truth, because it is self-evident,
so anyone can be a prophet. Some people are just better at seeing and
expressing the truth than others, or they just see it first. Anyone can see
the truth in the present (life).

Jesus said, "If you seek, you shall find."

When you truly start to seek, you truly start to find, just as Jesus says. If
you do not seek, you will not find. You just have to search and have an
open mind.

The next best thing to finding God/life is looking for God/life.

Seeking: The trick is to seek without seeking. When you actively try to
learn the ultimate truth, it will not come to you, because you have to be
in the mind to seek. You just have to love the truth above all else, and it
will be revealed to you.

Jesus said, "I am in all things; yet I am beyond all things. Not
through seeking will you find me, but through peace of mind."

Do not get me wrong, you have to dedicate yourself to finding and
learning the truth, but it comes when you are not looking. It comes in
between the times you are actively looking. You just have to be truly
interested in the truth more than anything else. If you have this sincere
and true interest, the truth will come to you. When you are not seeking,
spread what you know. It is that simple.

www.truthcontest.com

You have been deceived. There is no sin in that, but now that the
truth has been revealed to you, denying it would be the greatest of
all sins.

Selling faith, selling doubt: Religions sell faith; atheists sell doubt.
This book just says what the evidence, reason and logic says, and sells
that which is.

My revelations: I just do what Jesus said to do, and I learn something
new, unknown, unseen or unacknowledged everyday. These revelations
just come out of the air, make sense and fit in this book. This is why it is
written so differently.

It isn't me talking here. It comes from somewhere else, and I just write it
down in the right place. I personally never think about the things in this
book. I did all the thinking I needed to do, and now I do not think much,
so I am open to new things.

I do not plan to be a spiritual leader or anything like that. I do not plan to
do anything else for the truth except for sending letters. I did my part
and wrote the book. Now other people will have to do what they are
inspired to do. I plan to just live a middle class life in obscurity. If asked,
I will help others over the Internet.

The only thing I plan to do is discuss the subject with people that are
interested on the Internet. That is all anyone should do, and if a lot of
people do it, the truth will be seen, and the world will become the
heaven it could be and should be.

I am a regular guy. I like to fool around with women, boats, cars, plus I
like seeking and spreading the truth. I am not going to ever tell anyone
who I am. I am never going to tell people my past; it does not make a
good story. I cannot take credit or blame for the things in this book,
because it just passed through me.

Leaders/followers: The truth needs no leaders, just teachers. It is
important to keep personalities out of it. Followers get dependent on
spiritual leaders, leaders get dependent on the followers, and the truth is
lost. The truth is, people need to lead themselves. All the truth needs is
the Internet and work to spread it.

Buddha's last words were, "Be a light unto yourself."

22

www.truthcontest.com

You must take all the help you can get, and give as much help as
you can.

This time, the truth is not dependent on a single leader. In the past, a
lowlife could kill a prophet and stop the truth from getting out, but not
now. Many people have saved this book to their computers (you should
do it now and often, because it changes often, click the "PDF" links on
the homepage ofwww.truthcontest.com), so the seed has been planted,
and it will grow in other people until it pops up somewhere again. I just
opened a door, turned on a light, so people could see the truth. Now it is
up to you to spread it and improve it.

Use the Internet to tell people about it. All enlightened people will spend
at least a half hour per day sending the letters, working forums, etc. The
Internet was not created to just do what it is doing now. It is mostly
being used for pornography and to sell products. It was actually created
subconsciously for one ultimate purpose, and that is to spread the
ultimate truth and help make heaven possible.

This book is just the spark that will get people talking about the real
truth. I am just a guy with a match that is trying to start a truth fire.

Tuned in: I am just a tuned in guy, throwing out things I can see that no
one else seems to see. When others start to see them, people will come
together and better define the truth and the life. We will see the issues
clearly for the first time and the solutions to our problems. We will then
solve them as fast as is possible.

It all starts by spreading the truth on the Internet (never in person).

If the truth is not worth a half hour out of twenty four, people are not
worthy of knowing the truth, and they deserve their fate. Lazy people
and fools deserve what they get. If people devote a half hour a day to
learning and spreading the truth, they will be saved and so will the
world. Just do it, as the saying goes.

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Write a book: As Paul Simon says in the song "Slip Sliding Away," the
closer you get to the truth, the more you slip slide away from it. The
truth makes you feel better, so you start doing better in life and are
distracted from the truth. It is usually nothing heavy or earth shaking; it
is just people lose interest and go off into something else. People slip
slide away from it without even noticing they are doing it. That is why it
helps to write your own book to stay on track.

The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in
order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-
measure is to persist in spite of all barriers and disappointments.
Carlos Castaneda

Just start writing what you think the ultimate truth is and why. Work on it
a little everyday, and it will grow, and so will your understanding of the
truth. It keeps you on the spiritual path, so it is important, and everyone
should do it.

What you know: Your book will tell you what you know you know, so
you will just concentrate on and research what you know you do
not know.

Your book will evolve and change as you evolve and change.

It is like working on a clay sculpture. You add a little here, take a little
there, until it begins to reveal the ultimate truth in a way that you
understand it perfectly.

I received the revelations in this book one or two sentences at a time or
one idea at a time. One thing would just lead to another, and it just built
into this book. Most of the time I will get just a little change to something I
have already written. I would just write the ideas I received on a notepad
until I got a few pages, and then I would turn on my laptop and add them to
this book.

The next best thing to knowing the ultimate truth is seeking it.

Writing a book keeps you seeking and organized in your search. It leads
directly to God/life. Doing it on a computer makes it easy. It would have
been difficult in the past, but now you can delete and add stuff easily, and
you can watch TV while you do it. When it gets complete enough, just send
it to the contest, and the judges will help you refine it. Do not worry if it
sounds a lot like this book, it will.

24

www.truthcontest.com

Judges: Everyone that makes an entry becomes a judge, so by
competing with the other entries, the entries keep getting better. I think
someone is going to say what I say in this book a lot better than I do. I
am not a writer, and I just wrote this to get the ball rolling. I expect this
first try at it just to inspire other people that will do it better; maybe
you will.

I never wrote anything before and never will again. I had to write
this book.

I never wanted to write this book. Writing is not easy for a dyslexic
person. I was waiting for someone else to do it, but I started to think,
maybe no one would, and we are running out of time, so I had to just in
case no one else was going to.

Millions of children: The only question I have is whether I can write
well enough for anyone else to understand what I am talking about. This
book is the best I can do. If you can do better, it is your responsibility to
the human race to enter the contest and enlighten everyone else. There
are millions of children counting on us to do what we should to give
them a decent future. We can tell the truth, and it is all they need.

You can do it while watching TV: When you get your own mind out of
the way, turn it off, it makes room for the universal mind or collective
unconscious to come through you. Watching TV while writing is a good
way to turn your mind off.

Other books: I have revealed the hidden truth in the Bible, because
Christianity is the religion I grew up with and know the best. Other
people need to do the same thing with their religions and religious
books. The truth in them is fundamentally the same, but comes from a
different perspective, so they all should be reinterpreted now. People
need to see the truth in their own religions.

A new revelation is new truth. I did not know any of the things that I
have put in this book before they came to me. I just filled in the blanks
as they appeared.

Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there stands a
mighty ruler. An unknown sage - whose name is self. In your body
he dwells. There is more reason in your body than in your best
wisdom. Friedrich Nietzsche

The key is to not think much. As John Lennon said, you need a blank
sheet of paper before you can put anything new on it. You have to get
the bats out of the belfry, make room for daddy, and make room for
something new to come to you.

You have to have the desire to receive the truth for it to come, but
thinking about it does not make it happen. It is when you stop thinking
that it comes.

Jesus said, "I am in all things; yet I am beyond all things. Not
through seeking will you find me, but through peace of mind."

When a revelation is true, it makes sense and fits into a pattern, which
has continuity. It is also true for everyone, all the time. That is how you
know it is true.

Writing this book is the most amazing thing I have ever done, because I
watched it grow almost by itself. I write it, but it comes from outside my
own mind, from the universal mind or Holy Spirit.

When people read the new revelations in this book they will think, "I knew that,"
because many revelations come to many people at about the same time.

Deep down, everyone knows the truth, because all it is, is reality, and it is
self-evident once you begin to wake up. People are just beginning to be
able to see things as they truly are.

The revelations are just passing through me and this book to
reach you.

They are for you as much as they were for me. If you are ready to
receive them, you will understand what I am saying. If not, you will think
I am crazy.

Automatic writing: Most of the revelations just came to me while I was
doing something else, mostly while watching TV or listening to music.

Jesus said, "The words I speak are not my own but the Father's."

26

www.truthcontest.com

All things that come from beyond the mind come from what Jesus calls
the Father. Jesus said many times that what he says does not come
from him, but from the Father, and it comes via the Holy Spirit. I call the
Holy Spirit the collective unconscious, because it is a more accurate
description of what it actually is. It was called the Holy Ghost until just
recently, but was changed to the Holy Spirit because it was more
accurate. It now should be called the collective unconscious, because it
is more accurate than Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, "I have many more things to tell you, but you cannot
understand them now, but when the Holy Spirit comes, the Spirit of
Truth, it will guide you all in truth. When the Spirit comes, he will
make all things clear to you."

Jesus was hearing what he was saying for the first time as he said it,
just as the people listening to him were. Revelations just pass through
ordinary people.

John and Yoko were taking pictures in central park for a coffee table
book they were creating. A reporter asked him: "What makes you think
just because you are a great song writer that you can also be a great
photographer?" John answered: "Because it is the same thing. You
have to know what a great song or picture is before you can write a
great song or take a great picture."

Knowing intuitively: You have to know what a great or real revelation
is before you can write a book of ultimate truth or translate and interpret
what other prophets have said in the past. It is a gift that just comes to
you, if you want it. This is why people that came after Jesus lived
misinterpreted and distorted what he said. They interpreted what he
said through their uninspired minds, and they made his sayings say
what they thought the truth was or thought he really said, not what he
actually said or meant.

Religions just have to separate the truth from the BS in the Bible,
but they have to wake up and know the difference first.

27

www.truthcontest.com

The Holy Trinity: A good example of a revelation coming out of
nowhere is when I learned what the Holy Trinity means. The Church
teaches that God is three beings in one, which makes no sense. There
is Jesus the son, the Holy Spirit, and God the father. They are separate
and one at the same time. I can explain it for the first time. Human
beings are also three in one. We are mind, body and spirit. The trinity is
a reflection of us.

The son of God = a spiritual being in a human body.

The Holy Spirit = the collective unconscious mind.

God the father = the creator, the power behind and source of everything.

Jesus the son represents our physical body in the physical world, just as
Jesus was a physical man in this world. The Holy Spirit represents our
collective unconscious mind, which connects the physical world to the
spiritual world through inspiration and revelations. God the father
represents where everything comes from, the source of life, the
balancing force, and everything and nothing. They are three separate
beings that make up one being.

Our image: As I pointed out earlier, God did not create us in his image
as the Bible says. The opposite is the truth. We subconsciously created
God in our image, including the three separate parts of us. God is in us,
is us, when we realize the truth and the life. Now you know. It makes
total sense when you can see it clearly, just like everything else.

The Catholic Church says that the church represents the body of Christ,
the bread of life, which is taken in communion to remind us of our
spiritual nature. Is it just another coincidence?

Jesus said, "I came to rouse men to spiritual conflict. Do not think
that I have come to give peace on the earth. No, but rather division."

Come together: Jesus and the other prophets of the past did a good
job. The world has been divided and in spiritual conflict. It was
necessary for us to evolve, but the time has come to do the opposite
and unite the parts of life, see the whole and come together.

Christ-like: To come together, we have to all become Christ-like, or
have Christ consciousness as they say in the east.

28

www.truthcontest.com

Jesus said, "Therefore I say that if one is unified, one will be filled
with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness."

Mankind's spirit is divided from the spirit of God/life by our minds. By
using the mind against itself, truth against deception, it will be
overcome, and our spirit will unite with God/life, the creator or source of
all life.

Jesus said, "A kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand."

Jesus said. If Satan is divided against himself, then how will his
kingdom stand? And if Satan has risen up against himself, he
cannot stand, but he will come to an end.

In other words, you have to use your mind against itself, truth against
deception. We need the mind to get rid of deception. It is "the way"
Jesus is talking about.

Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will be called sons
of men."

To make yourself one with God, you have to use the mind and truth to
do it.

The Bible says that Christ will slay the Antichrist with truth.

When people learn the truth and the life, they will have the mind of
Christ and will use the truth against the forces of deception to banish
deception from the earth.

Jesus and the other prophets of the past caused division. It was needed
to progress and evolve. The new, fully evolved modern prophets will do
the opposite of the prophets of the past and unite people, and it is time
to get started.

Prophets and madmen: Society is so screwed up that most prophets
are seen as insane, and the insane are seen as prophets. The truth is
seen as lies, and lies are seen as the truth.

The opposite factor: It is a great tool for revealing the ultimate truth.
You just have to look at the exact opposite of what most people think to
find the truth.

St. Peter, the founder of the Christian church said, "You have to see the
opposite of what you now see to enter heaven." It is the real reason he
was crucified upside down; it is a sign.

We become the exact opposite of the way people are now.
See, Acts of Peter, XXXVIII

People, mankind, are living as their false, mortal mind-self, and they
should be living as their immortal spiritual-self, the exact opposite of the
way they are now.

This book can turn people's perception of the world right side-up.

The mind has everyone seeing life upside-down or backwards. People need
to go through the looking glass, see the mirror image of life to see it truly.
Example: This is the biggie; most religions say that God is found in another
place and time, that you have to wait until you die to see God.

Mankind is dead now. The truth is, God is here now, and you have to be
alive, not dead. You have to be more alive than people are now to see
God. God is not invisible as religions say. The exact opposite is true. God
is the most visible thing in the universe, because everything you see,
touch, hear and smell is God. God is everything, everywhere, all the time.

People think God is something extraordinary; God is the ordinary. The
ordinary is extraordinary when you see it without the mind's interference.

Magic is in every moment of life; you just need to realize the truth
to see it.

This is how you know when you know the truth. If you see the magic,
you know it. If you do not see the magic in every moment, you do not
know it yet.

There are no miracles. It is all a miracle.

Many eastern religions say you have to look in to find yourself, that the
truth is within. The exact opposite is the truth.

People think living on the edge is the most interesting; living in the
center is the most interesting.

People think, the more you think, the more you know. The opposite is
true; the less you think, the more you know. This is because the less
you think, the more you experience life, and the more you experience
life, the more you will know the truth of life.

It is interesting that most of the word "know" is "now."

People think the spirit is light; it actually has more in common with
darkness.

Kids think that life will be better when they grow up. Grown-ups think life
was better when they were kids.

People think life is very complicated. The truth is, it is very simple.

Religious people think that you have to sacrifice this life to get to heaven
in the next. The opposite is the truth. You have to enjoy this life as much
as possible in order to get to heaven in the next. You have to enjoy true
life, not the mind's delusion of life; not animal life, but spiritual life, real
life, true life, divine life. If you do not have the greatest possible life this
time, you will not get to heaven in the next. It is all or nothing.

True religion is real living.
Albert Einstein

People are seeing the exact opposite of the truth and believing it is the
truth, so they could not be more wrong or farther away from the truth.

"The Present - Insights"

Living and Dying

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon

Planning for the future: When most people are young adults, they put
a lot of their effort into preparing for their future. The problem is that the
future never really comes. After middle age, they may or may not have
money, but they no longer have youth and the illusion of a dream future.

People start to realize that their dreams are not going to come true, at
least not like they dreamed them. Or people did what they set out to do,
and it was not what they thought and hoped it would be; it did not satisfy
them for very long. They start reminiscing about the good old days that
really were not that good. People go from fantasizing about the future to
fantasizing about the past. They miss the present altogether. People live
their whole life without really living at all. Their friends start to die, and
their health starts to go. They start to see that they are heading for
sickness, old age and death.

It starts to dawn on them that their life has passed them by, and they
are heading for the abyss without a clue. Then they tell their kids to do
the same thing they were taught, because they do not know what else
to tell them. So it goes, passed down from one generation to the next,
the sins of the father passed down, the blind leading the blind as the
Bible says. It is tragic and no longer necessary.

Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall
into a pit."

Prime of life: We may live an average of about seventy five years, but
our prime of life is considerably shorter. For most men, it is about ten
years. For most women, it is only about five years, because youth and
physical beauty matter so much.

All this effort is to prepare for a future that is sandwiched between youth
and old age. Those few years are not that great, even for the people that
are lucky enough to succeed in their plans; even the one in a million that
realizes their childhood dreams is disappointed. What is the point? Even for
those few for whom the big dream comes true, those who become famous
in sports or show business, it only lasts a few years for most of them.

32

A spiritual being is in the prime of life all the time. Time does not
exist; it is a mind created illusion. All there is is the present all the
time. When you wake up to the truth, time stops from your
perspective. You just live life.

I am not saying that people should not prepare for the future. You have
to do something with your life, and getting an education that will help
others and help yourself is the thing to do. Working to help others and
yourself is also the right way to spend your time (present). You can do
those things and take care of yourself spiritually at the same time.
Success and money will come and go, no matter what you do, but life is
always with you, so it is all that really matters.

Jesus said, "You should seek God first, and all these things will be
added to you. Do not be anxious about tomorrow; tomorrow will
take care of itself."

In other words, if you take complete care of the present, you are taking
care of the long term at the same time. It is the perfect way to live, the
only way to live.

The next best thing to finding God/life is looking for God/life.

If you take care of the present (live in the present), the future will take
care of itself, as the saying goes. Always give the present priority over
the future or the past, and you will be on the right path, the path to
heaven. Living in the present does not mean that you do not know the
past and the future. You have to know the true past and true future in
order to know the truth and live in the present.

Live every moment, like it is your last dance on earth.
Carlos Castaneda

Even though people are always thinking about the past and the future,
they do not see it truly. The mind is preventing people from seeing the
present, and it is also preventing people from seeing the true past and
future. The mind is the problem. Drop your mind, and the past and the
future cease to exist.

No one really looks past fifty years. What happens then?

Many people do not think past the next fifty or sixty years, or past death,
because they think it is a long way off, or that there is no hope. They
think dead means dead or they believe in a myth. They could not be
more wrong. People say to take the long view but actually never really
do. They think fifty years is the long view. It isn't.

When you know you are going to die and life is short, shouldn't you
prepare for it? Doesn't having a long-term plan make sense?

Someone once said, "People live in quiet desperation." The truth is, they
live in ignorance. People are so busy playing mind games that they
never see or even imagine that there is really another way, a way to a
place that is better than any dream you ever had.

Ignorance is not bliss. It is the cause of all misery.

We have to know the truth in order to walk the path to heaven. The truth
is the path. You have to be able to see the path, all of it, before you can
go where you really want to go. Almost everyone is lost. Most people
just do not know it, which makes them even more lost. The definition of
being lost is not knowing where you are and/or where you are going.
That makes just about everyone lost. Only the truth and the life can
show you the way, because it is the way, the only way to true life,
here/now and heaven after you die. You can find it in the present.

The saddest thing is someone dying without ever living.

Lie and die: People live their lives living a lie, and then they die in a lie.
I was watching a talk show about people that know they are going to die
soon and how they are dealing with it. Everyone on the show was acting
like they had come to terms with it. They said they have come to an
understanding with their death and are now okay with it. They are facing
death with courage, understanding and a positive attitude. They are not
telling the truth.

You cannot bring anyone on a talk show to talk about death if they are going
to be honest about it, because it will not be good entertainment. A talk show's
purpose is to make people feel better, not necessarily to tell the truth.

It is interesting that "lie" and "die" are so close to the same thing.

The people on the show are doing the best they can do, because no one
knows the truth, but it is not honest. No one is okay with their impending
death. The truth is, it is life's ultimate nightmare, even if you know the truth
and the life.

34

www.truthcontest.com

Your death is your ultimate niglitmare, period. Tliat is tlie truth.

It is the worst thing that happens in life, no matter how you look at it. Life
contains some bad things, and death is the worst of them all. It is the
way it is.

People get scared when they watch a scary movie of someone getting
killed or dying. Try to imagine how scared you will be when it is really
happening to you.

Anyone that says they are okay with death is lying. No one can be okay
with it, but that does not make people feel good, so no one can be
honest about it. The problem is that it tells people it is okay to be
dishonest, even when you are about to die, which it is not. Just before
you die is the time to be the most honest. Otherwise, you send the
wrong message to the people you care about.

The reason it is the saddest thing to see someone dying without
learning the truth is because it is now unnecessary. The truth can be
known, and people know it subconsciously. It is right there, but they just
cannot connect with it.

If you do not know the truth, the worst thing to do is deceive
yourself and others, because it removes any chance of you
learning the truth.

Even when you know the truth, there is not much to feel good about.
You can feel good that you are one of the first people on earth to die
knowing the truth, and you can look forward to being reborn in a better
place, but that is about it.

If you are in great pain and have a hopeless, degenerative, terminal
disease, you may welcome death, but that only means that your disease
is worse than death. It does not make death okay; death still sucks on
many levels.

Death sucks: Your death forces you to have to leave everything you've
ever known. You are leaving everyone you love, and that is never okay.

Even if you think it is good, it makes your loved ones sad when you die,
and there is nothing okay about that. No matter how you look at it, it is
bad. Therefore, anyone that says they are okay with it has not really
thought about it, is stupid, or is lying to themselves and everyone else.
Death sucks, and that is the bottom line.

35

www.truthcontest.com

If you learn the truth and the life, you can die knowing you did the best that
was possible for a human being. Having learned the truth and the life, you will
be reborn in a new world where death will never be as bad as it is in this
realm. It is a lot better than dying in ignorance or a living lie. You will know
that death is necessary and what is going to happen next (be reborn), but
death will always be tragic in many ways, and it is never okay.

This section is about physical death, the loss of your current body.

Spiritual people die and are reborn every second in the body they are in.
Think about it; you are not the same person you were when you were
ten. That person no longer exists. You have died to the person you were
last year and yesterday and even who you were one minute ago. A
spiritual person dies and is reborn every second in the present, but we
are talking about physical death now.

Physical life is short: If people realized just how fast their physical life
is going to pass, they would be much more concerned with learning the
ultimate truth while they have the chance. The truth is, we are all
slowly dying.

Ask any old person if life is short or long, ask if their life went by too fast.

In the modern world, we do not see real death, just movie and TV death
which is not real. This distorts our perception of the reality of death, the
certainty of it. People really die. Where is John Wayne right now? Death
must be real if even he is really dead. In the next few years, we are
going to start seeing many stars of movies and TV start dying, and it will
begin to make us realize death is real.

People are afraid of dying for a good reason; it is by far the worst thing
that happens to you. It is even worse than it looks or you think it is. We
become adults when we really realize that we are going to die in a short
period of time.

It is the worst thing that happens, and the most certain thing
to happen.

That is the naked truth. This makes life and death the most important
subject there is. We are immature until we can face what we are really
up against. Ignoring it or just taking someone's word for what happens
when you die is the biggest mistake you can make. You have to do your
homework on this subject. It is a requirement to pass the course and
graduate to heaven.

People are always surprised when things get bad, they get injured really
bad or get a crippling disease, like it is their fault or something that
should not happen. People are always saying so and so did not deserve
that. Deserve has nothing to do with it, and it just shows how far people
are from the truth. It is just the balance.

We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call, no way out,
just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the
house down with us trapped, locked in it. Tennessee Williams

Titanic: We are all on our own personal Titanic and heading for
something that will kill us in some horrible way soon.

Life boat: The only life boat is the truth and the life. If you don't want to
go down with the ship, you need to start getting into the life boat soon.

People think that they would not have wanted to be one of those poor
people on the Titanic or someone in some other disaster, when the truth
is, they are heading for a disaster themselves. Everyone is, but almost
no one realizes it.

People hear about someone being murdered by some psycho on the
news and think that "it will never happen to me." The person that was
murdered thought exactly the same way. They could not have been
more surprised. As the saying goes, never wonder for whom the bell
tolls; it tolls for thee.

We are all in a life cycle that averages about seventy five years. This
means we will be killed in one way or another. Life is filled with ups and
downs, and at the end of your life cycle, you lose everything; everyone
does. The worst thing that can happen is guaranteed to happen. As
Becker said, life is one disappointment after another, with the biggest
one at the end of it.

Just because the average lifespan is about seventy five years, it does
not mean that is how long you live. The truth is that almost no one dies
at that age. Most people die younger or older, some a lot younger.

False sense of security: The average lifespan gives people a false
sense of security. The truth is, you can die five minutes from now. This
is an important understanding, because if you put off learning the truth,
you may not get the chance. You have to get on board the life boat
while you can.

While we are postponing, life speeds by. Seneca

Pearly gates: You cannot just think you know the truth; you have to
know the truth. It is what you know that gets you to heaven. It is what
you know that transforms you and your life. Knowing the truth is the key
to the metaphorical pearly gates; the key Jesus metaphorically gave to
St. Peter and to us through his words.

We become the exact opposite of the way people are now.
See, Acts of Peter, XXXVIII

Everyone ends up doing the thing they have been trying to avoid at all
costs. You lose absolutely everything you knew, everything that you
thought was important, a few seconds before it happens. Nothing can
be worse, and it is going to happen to you, maybe very soon. That is the
bad news. The good news is that you can be ready for it.

End of the world: People are always talking and worrying about the
world ending. We are destroying the environment, going to use
weapons of mass destruction, there are plagues and pandemics,
asteroids from space, religious prophecy, etc. We are so busy worrying
about the world that we are missing the fact that the world is going to
end soon for us, no matter what happens.

The world ends all the time. It ends every time someone dies. The world ends
when your life in it ends. The world ended for everyone that lived in the
nineteenth century. The world is going to end for the whole World War II
generation in the next ten years. Even the people that survived the war are
going to die. No one really wins unless they learn the truth. Everyone alive
today, the whole human race, will be dead within the next one hundred and
thirty years, no matter what we do. For most people, it will come a lot sooner.

Jesus said, "The end is near."

He was right; the end is near. People think this saying was wrong because
the world did not end near the time he said it, but they are wrong, because
the world did end for everyone he said it to within fifty years.

Your life will go by fast, no matter how long you live. You will be at
death's door before you know it. The truth is, the world could end for
you in the next few minutes. It is not something that just happens to
someone else. It will not happen in your future; it will happen in your
present, just like everything else.

The living dead: This is one major reason people avoid the present.
They know death is only in the present. They think if they avoid the
present, real life, they can avoid death. The problem is, life is also only
in the present, so if you avoid the present, you avoid true life, thus you
are a living dead person. Death happens anyway, so what is the point of
missing true life?

The mind has a hard time seeing the truth when it comes to the subject
of death, because it does not know life, so it cannot know death. It deals
with it by not dealing with it or by hiding in a myth.

The elephant in the room: Everyone is trying to ignore the elephant in
the room, making believe that it is not there. People are in complete
denial. As a result, you get the biggest surprise of your life at the end of it.

There is no defense against death. People that collect guns and put in
cameras and alarm systems are just deceiving themselves. The worst
possible thing is going to happen relatively soon in one way or another,
no matter what you do. When it does happen, most people will not be
ready for it.

That does not have to be the way it is. You can take anything in stride if you
know the ultimate truth, and if all your loved ones know the truth, they can too.

When the worst possible thing happens to a spiritual being, they do not
lose themselves; they find themselves even more, get closer to God/life
and get more into the present. A spiritual being was expecting it and
prepared for it in advance.

A spiritual person knows the worse it gets, the better it will be, and
everything is perfect at all times, so they make the transition consciously
into their next life.

You are just going over the big drop on the rollercoaster of life, and it is
just starting to get real interesting. You do not just hope that you are
going to a better place, you know it. Good, bad, painful, it is all just the
present to you.

Die like a man: This does not mean a spiritual person will not scream,
cry out, suffer and go through anguish like anyone else that is dying;
Jesus did. A spiritual person is still a physical being. This needs to be
pointed out, because people think that someone who knows the truth
and understands what happens after death will go out smiling or
something, and are disappointed when they do not.

39

www.truthcontest.com

People think that a spiritual person or someone that knows the ultimate
truth should die better or different in some way. This caused many
people that witnessed the death of Jesus to think he was nothing
special, when he was. It is one of the reasons the Romans tortured
Jesus as much as they did; they wanted to show people that he was
nothing special. It worked, because people did not understand that how
a person dies does not tell you anything.

You do not know a spiritual being by how they die; you know them by
how they live. A spiritual person is more aware, and thus feels physical
pain more than other people, but they will not hide what they feel, good
or bad.

You are born in anguish, and you die in anguish.

Spiritual people will not look or act any differently than anyone else that
dies. What is different is going on on the inside, and is only known to the
person dying.

A spiritual person will not try and act any different when dying to
impress or prove anything to the living. Men feel they have to hide their
pain and die like a man. Spiritual people are not men; they are more
than men, and do not hide anything for any reason. Jesus cried out in
pain on the cross, because crucifixion hurts.

The truth is, a spiritual being does not live or die in a false or phony
way. Death is the worst thing that happens to a life form, and a spiritual
being is an exact reflection of it. If anything, a spiritual being makes
death look worse.

Funerals are designed to distract people from the reality of what has
really happened. They are intended to put a good spin on death and get
people past it without them really understanding what happened. The
objective is to avoid facing the truth. The truth is, your friend or loved
one just turned into worm food.

The ultimate surprise: People are always surprised when someone
close to them dies. Imagine how surprising your own death is going to
be. Nothing you had ever experienced prepares you for the
overwhelming power of it, the fear of it, usually the pain of it and the
helplessness of it. It is nothing like going to sleep as most people are
expecting. It is the ultimate wake up call. It will be the first thing in your
life that will be truly different, really beyond your imagination.

"The Present - Insights"

Love, Sex and Marriage

Emotions: Spiritual people will keep all of their positive emotions and
aspects of their personalities. You will still feel negative emotions, but
you will not give them life as you did in the past. You can have the good
mind made things without the bad mind made things; you just have to
give life to the good emotions and not give life to the bad ones.

It is self-induced mind control. The mind can and will control itself.

The mind's new job is to activate only the positive parts of your mind.
People try to do that now, but they are doing it from the perspective of
the mind, so it is unnatural and not easy to do. From a spiritual being's
perspective, it is natural and easy to do.

And we should consider everyday lost on which we have not
danced at least once. And we should call every truth false, which
was not accompanied by at least one laugh. Friedrich Nietzsche

It is one of the ways that your mind will change itself. It will begin to be
selective as to what parts of the mind it will give life to. The negative
parts of the mind will wither away from neglect and the positive parts of
the mind will become stronger.

There will be a lot more laughter and a lot less crying. Males will have it
easier than females, because males naturally can control their emotions
a little better, but both sexes can do it once the truth is known.

The way to control your emotions is to simply see them for what they
are. Once you can see emotions from the perspective of your spiritual-
self, you see them as just something that your mind creates, and if your
mind creates it, it can stop creating it, and you will stop creating the bad
ones. To a spiritual being, positive emotions are just a tool to
communicate with people and something to enjoy when the time is right
to enjoy them. Negative emotions are removed from your life
permanently for obvious reasons.

People think you cannot have one without the other, that you cannot
have the positive without the negative. It is a deception created by the
mind. The truth is that you can have just the positive without the
negative, and a person that knows the truth just has positive emotions.

41

Jesus said that people should not judge life.

Spiritual beings live life completely, no matter what the situation is. You
live without judgment of life; you love everything in real life.

Carnal love is mind love. It is love of just part of life, love of the
opposite sex, your children, etc. Divine love is loving everything, giving
your complete attention to life.

Divine love = attention + compassion.

Divine awareness, divine love, is mostly just your total attention to life
and everything and everyone in it. Total attention will give you
everything, which you can then reflect back out to everyone. Carnal love
is a passionate, hot form of love and desire. Divine love is a cool, self-
contained love without desire.

Love is just being completely in the present. It is that simple.

Carnal love is of the mind, an emotion, animal attraction, etc. Divine
love is of the spirit and contains no emotion, just compassion (caring). It
is spiritual attraction. It works something like gravity and just naturally
brings people together.

Have it all: You can have both carnal love and divine love. You do not
give up anything except the parts of your life/mind you do not like and
do not need.

You need sexual attraction to reproduce and power the man-woman
dynamic of carnal love, romance, family and children. It is a natural and
necessary part of human life. It can be, should be, and will be much
better than it is now.

You need to use the positive emotional parts of the mind to
communicate with other people, but you use them selectively and
control them; you do not let them control you. Some normally negative
emotions also are appropriate in certain situations, such as sadness
being appropriate when someone dies, etc. Some emotions like crying
can feel good. You only get rid of the emotions that feel bad or that
cause trouble. People's emotions are running wild now.

42

www.truthcontest.com

Phony: It sounds cold and phony, but the opposite is true. Spiritual
beings never make anything up. A spiritual being only deals in the real,
the authentic, and never does anything that is fake or phony from their
perspective. It is as impossible for a spiritual being to be a phony in any
way as it is impossible for people living in their minds to be true and real
in any way. When you have control of your feelings, emotions and
desires, you can use them selectively, and they become stronger, more
real, and more fulfilling.

Controlling desire: You have no desires for anything until the time is
right to have them; then you have complete desire. When the time to
have desire has passed, you turn it off. You just use desire to enhance
your life; you do not let it use you. When you laugh, you laugh with your
whole being, but you only laugh when something is funny. Luckily, a lot
of life is funny from a spiritual perspective.

You do not give up anything. You just gain complete control of
your mind.

Running amuck: You do not give up your mind or your emotions; you
just take complete control of them. Having control (awareness) makes
feelings, emotions and desires much more pure, satisfying and fulfilling.
It makes emotions and feelings work for you, not against you. Currently,
this world is run on passions such as hate, revenge, anger, fear and
envy. These and other negative emotions are ruining life in this world.
Technology has made it too dangerous for this to continue.

Whenever you can, you live with the mind turned off. This makes it possible
to live in a state of total awareness, so you know when to activate feelings,
emotions and desires, and when not to. You only activate the parts of your
mind that will best serve the present and the people sharing it with you.

Good actors are able to control their emotions and activate them on
cue. The best actors do not fake them; they feel them. A spiritual being
just uses the same ability to control their emotions in everyday life.

All the world is a stage, and all the men and woman merely
players. William Shakespeare

Automatic: It happens automatically, reflexively, and naturally without
thinking about it. It frees your feelings, emotions and desires to function
fully. You live with confidence, and you show your feelings and
emotions without apprehension or fear of any kind.

43

www.truthcontest.com

Hide your love away: Mankind hides its feelings or liolds them back
now, because it subconsciously fears them. Their feelings, emotions,
and desires are out of control and have resulted in a lot of emotional
pain, so the fear is justified.

Out of control emotions can and do wreck people's lives. This has
caused people to hide their true feelings most of the time, and as a
result, even when the time is right to show emotions, they are
emotionally crippled.

One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.
John Lennon

Turn your love loose: When your mind is under your complete control,
serving the spirit, you no longer fear emotions and feelings, and you can
start really enjoying them to the fullest. When they are under control,
you can turn your true emotions loose for the first time. Completely
conscious people, spiritual people, naturally live in this way. It is the only
way to live.

You can let your good emotions fly for the first time.

You can only turn your mind loose when you are sure you have control
of it. You also have to be around other people that know the truth,
people that will understand and not think you are crazy. You will be
totally free to act any way you feel like acting, and you and everyone
around you will be entertained by it, because they know it is coming
from love. People will not abuse this freedom.

Actors, a few musicians, and artists are the only ones that can do it
now. It is one of the reasons acting, music, and the arts can be so
liberating.

The truth of life will make people more emotional, not less emotional.
People that live in the truth will live just like children, crying and being
more emotional than adults do now. The truth frees you to be as
emotional as the things that are happening around you dictate. If you
get hurt, you will reflect it as honestly as a child would. It is one of the
things that will make living in the truth and the life more fulfilling.
Emotions are good once everyone around you knows the truth and the
life. You just cannot be that free around people that do not know the
truth yet.

44

Uncool: Do not get me wrong; just because people are free to do what
they want does not mean they will ever be uncool and make a scene.
Freedom does not mean you are free to do anything you want; it means
you are free to do what you should, given the situation. Living in the
present is as cool as it gets.

Divine love = open, open = attention.

Unconditional love: Dogs have it, but mankind does not. If you give life
your complete attention, it will be more fulfilling for you and everyone
around you most of the time in this life and all the time in the next.
Spiritual beings are love.

You can love something and not like it at the same time.
Jesus said, "Love thy enemy."

This is another saying of Jesus that did not make sense until now. In
addition to their enemy, spiritual people give their complete attention to
those they do not like and cannot stand. Giving your complete attention
to everything does not mean you will like everything all the time. You will
not like the devil/mind.

Jesus said, if there is something that you do not like, do not do it.

God/life gave people legs; you can walk away. If you cannot walk away
from it, endure it until you can. All things pass eventually. Spiritual
people give everything in the present their complete attention, even if
they do not like it.

It is said that a man that fears nothing, loves nothing. The truth is, a
man that is truly fearless loves everything real (God/life).

You can be any way you want to be; you can walk away from your
old self.

The mind says that people cannot change themselves, that you cannot
teach an old dog a new trick. This is a deception. You are not the same
person you were when you were a kid. You are not the same person
you were ten years ago. You change all the time, but you have not been
in control of it. When you know the truth, it puts you in control. You can
now create any personality you want.

A good example is Gary Grant, the movie star. He was born Arciiie Leacli.
He clianged from a not so special person into a very special person.

One day he decided he did not want to be Archie Leach anymore, so he
created Gary Grant, the charming lady's man, in real life as well as on
the screen, and he did it without l<nowing the truth, which is impossible
for most people.

It is what human evolution is all about now. You change yourself from
what you are to something better. You do it by just realizing what you
really are to start with, and then you add what you want to what you
already have.

Gary Grant did have the good looks, and that helped to reinforce his
new persona. It gave him positive feedback, and that helps, but it is not
necessary.

Reflections: In many movies and fairytales, the good guy or woman is
good looking, the handsome prince or beautiful princess, and the bad or
evil guy or woman is ugly, such as the ugly witch. This is because
people expect the good to be good looking and the bad to be ugly.

This often plays out in real life, because people become what other
people reflect at them. Beautiful people are treated like good people, so
they become good people. Ugly or different people are treated like bad
people, so they become bad people. They let other people make them
what they are, and this is not good.

This is why movie directors and casting agents cast to type. They know
that people that look a certain way will act a certain way, and people
expect them to.

Reflect the truth and the life: Spiritual people are not just a reflection
of other people. People that know the truth and the life reflect the truth
and the life. We reflect beauty, even if we do not have it physically. The
truth is, you can be anything you want to be without anyone or anything
to help you, except for the truth and the life. Everyone can
metamorphose into his or her best self.

Looks and a name matter, but a lot less than you would think. Just look
at James Wood, Tommy Lee Jones, Humphrey Bogart, Danny Devito,
Edward G. Robinson, Snoop Dogg or Steve Buscemi, and you can see
clearly; looks do not matter if you are bringing life to the table. I am not
crazy enough to name names with women, but it works with women
also. All you need is love, as the Beatles said in song. Anyone can be a
charming person. You just have to let all of life and love in, and reflect it
back out to the people around you. True life is always filled with love
and is interesting, so when you let it in and let it out, you shine.

Movie star in reverse: With movie stars, people see them and like
them first, and then the movie star reflects that love back at them. With
a spiritual being, we like other people first. We look at them like they are
a movie star; everyone is a star to us, and then they will reflect it back to
us. That gets the divine love going.

Like first: The secret to getting people to like you is just to like them
first. When you see people truly, see them as spirits, you cannot help
but like most people. You just let them know you like them, and they will
reflect that right back at you. The more you like them, the more they will
like you. You do not get all gaga over them or even tell them you like
them. You just do and are cool, and it will come back to you. It is pretty
simple, isn't it? You just have to know the truth to do it.

Usually what you put out comes right back to you, but sometimes it
does not. You have to remember that people (minds) are all coming
from different places, and their past can intrude on the present, so they
will not be a pure reflection of the present. This means that what you put
out will not always come right back to you, but it eventually will with
most people if you see them a lot.

I personally do not want to be a ladies man or professional actor, nor do
I recommend it. It can be a much harder life than most. It is easier and
thus much better to just do something easy. I am just using Gary Grant
as an example.

You sliould not do anything liard, unless it is your true calling.

If being a professional actor is your true calling, it will be fulfilling, even
through all the difficulty you encounter. When you learn the truth and the
life, you will know your true calling if you have one. Most people will not
have one or need one.

Once you know the truth, you can project anything and everything you
want to. As John Lennon said in song, "you can radiate everything you
are." You can start being who you want to be by just being what you
truly are in the present.

Up until you know the truth, you are a creation of your environment and
twisted mind. Once you know the truth, you are a creation of yourself.
Which is phony?

Imagination: When you get control of your mind, when you choose to
use your imagination, your imagination is much stronger. You do not
give up imagination or even dreaming if it is about your mate, family, or
calling in life. It is a good thing when it is seen for what it is, controlled
and limited.

We need to use our imaginations to make the world a better place.

Imagination and emotions are necessary for romantic relationships to be
all they can be, so you use them to get you to where you want to be,
and then live them in the present. A spiritual person uses everything
they have, including the mind.

Soul mate: Mind games to a point are a necessary part of the mating
game. It is the way people get to know each other. The closer you get,
the less mind games you play, until you no longer have to play them.

They should end completely before you get married. In fact, that is how you
know if you are soul mates or not. If you have to play mind games to be
together after you have gotten to know each other, you are not soul mates,
and you should not get married. This is obvious to spiritual beings.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy, you
must have somebody to divide it with. Mark Twain

Why do the rich and famous that can get the opposite sex anytime
they want get married? It's because it's as good as it gets, and
anyone can do it.

Marriage: Women live in the present a lot easier than men do. Men are
naturally closer to the truth, and women are naturally closer to the life.
Men are more into the mind, women are more into life and living, so
together they can help each other know the truth and the life and stay in
the present.

A man's job is to get his wife to a never-ending heaven, where their
family can live together in eternal bliss forever. A woman's job is to bring
a little heaven to earth now. They both have to know the ultimate truth to
do it. If they do not, they will not be able to do their jobs, and they
should not get married, because it will just lead to tragedy for everyone
involved, especially the children.

Women know, for romance, they have to first bring men into
the present.

They are naturally good at it, and that is why men enjoy being around
them. Women have the power to bring men out of their heads and into
the present. Women cannot see the truth as easily as men can, so men
will lead the way to heaven, but women will make true life easier for
males to realize here and now. Marriage is a dance, and the man must
lead for the dance to benefit both equally. Actually, God will be leading
the dance, if the people dancing know the truth.

The Bible says woman was created to be man's helper:

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make
a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2:18

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle

Almost all marriages will be for life if both people live in the truth and the
life or are actively searching for it together. The greener grass on the
other side of the fence will not tempt them. Temptation will not have the
power it has now. We will truly know better. The truth and the life makes
superficial things much better, which is great when you're young, but the
really great thing is when spiritual married people become older and
fatter, etc. Their love and commitment grows even stronger.

Spiritual people replace some of the things they liked when they were
young with new things, which bring them closer together. The superficial
things of youth are replaced by something much deeper and even more
fulfilling.

With spiritual beings, relationships and life always get better.

Golden years: Sexual attraction is primarily tied to the biology of
reproduction, so females have the most sexual attraction in their prime
reproductive years. It is the way evolution made females to help the
reproduction process. Biology makes females physically attractive as
soon as they can have babies, and makes them less attractive when
that time has passed. We can fight nature with laws when they are too
young, and we can use surgery when the time has passed, but that
does not change the truth. When that time has passed, spiritual couples
flow with it and do not try to fight their biology, because it is impossible,
and there is a better way to go. You may drag it out awhile with surgery,
make-up and Viagra, but why? The present is even sweeter when
people pass their reproductive time.

Sex is not everything as society tries to make it. It is being
over played.

The truth is, sex is a very small part of a relationship. Spiritual people
make love all the time, and sex is just a small part of it. The devil/mind is
using it against us.

Spiritual people make love 24/7.

Spiritual people are making love while they are just living a normal life.
They make love when eating, when doing the laundry or watching TV
together. If they are together, they are making love. It is more accurate
to say that they are always letting God/life into their lives and reflecting it
to their mate. It is just a new way of seeing and living life, a better way,
a way to see the divine in every moment. People make too big a deal
out of sex, and it makes it worse, not better. If the relationship is great,
the sex will be great; it is not the other way around.

After sexual attraction passes, it truly is a human being's golden years,
if they know the truth and live the life. When that gorilla is off of your
back, you discover other types of intimacy that are much deeper and
more fulfilling.

When men are young, they are blinded to a woman's true beauty by the
power of sexual attraction. Women are life itself, love personified, and
when sexual attraction loses some of its power, men can see a
woman's true beauty more clearly, and it does not fade with age. This is
another gift of the truth and the life.

There is something in the way they move, as the Beatles say in song. It
is the little things, the sound of their voices, the whole package. Men
tend to focus on just parts of a woman, and in doing this, they miss
everything.

Eyes of life: Some guys are leg guys or breasts guys; a spiritual being
likes the eyes the best, because they are the windows to the soul. The
eyes do not age. When you are looking at a woman, you are seeing the
crown of creation, the state of the art of living things, and the most
physically evolved life on earth.

When females are in their prime reproductive years and their physical
beauty is at its strongest, it is so powerful that it overshadows the rest of
what they are. When they are in other stages of life, the other things are
easier to see. There is an X factor that makes them so fascinating. It is
magic, the magic of love.

The female of our species is the most beautiful thing in
our universe.

Nothing else even comes close, and it has nothing to do with sexual
attraction. It is not just the opinion of someone that loves women. It is a
fact. I can just see women clearly. I see them better than they see
themselves.

True life = true love = true beauty.

Not just physical: Most people realize that women are beautiful, but
what most people do not know is that the mind hides most of their
beauty, because it hides most of life. Spiritual people see it all, and the
physical is just a small part of it.

Females naturally let more life in, so they have more life to reflect
than men do. The more life you have, the more love you have. It is
that simple.

It happens naturally: The nice thing about the relationship is it can be
so easy if people's minds do not screw it up. Women do not have to do
anything to make a man happy except be a woman, so they will make a
man happy just with their presence in a man's life. What makes a
woman happy is making her man happy, which she can do with no
effort, by just being what she is, so the whole thing is so easy and
natural, and that is why heaven on earth is possible.

Spiritual attraction: The common denominator that brings most
couples together is carnal love or sexual attraction. The problem is,
when this fades, so does the relationship, and everyone loses big.

It is okay for people to come together by sexual attraction, but that has
to lead to spiritual attraction for the relationship to last.

Love is not necessarily a byproduct of sex. Love should always
come first.

People have it backwards like everything else. People should look for the
spiritual connection first. If they did, there would not be as many unwanted
pregnancies, unwanted marriages, STDs, and unwanted children.

Sex is the common denominator in animals. The truth and the life is
the common denominator between spiritual beings.

Spiritual beings will be their best almost all the time. Sharing, love,
romance and family will be a way of life for most spiritual beings and
those in transition.

Animal love passes: People's minds change over time, so it is
impossible to stay the same as when you first fell in love, or even close
to it, if you are just in mind love. Couples inevitably grow apart. Minds
grow apart; spirits never do. The truth and the life are the only thing that
never changes. The spirit is love.

True love is impossible without true life.

You have to know true life to know true love. People can stay together
forever, even after death, if they both know and live in the truth and the
life. Carnal love is temporary; divine love is forever.

Physical things are temporary. Spiritual things last forever.

Spiritual beings can feel the way that they felt when they first fell in love
most of the time or whenever the time is right, and it is right a lot when
you are married.

You become as sensual as you can possibly be; you become your
senses.

The Bible says that you are raised to the newness of life. In other words,
love is always new and fresh. In true life, the relationship between a
man and woman is always new, fresh and interesting.

52

www.truthcontest.com

Ups and downs: A relationship is just two people sharing life. The more

life in the relationship, the better. The more life you have, the more love
you have. God is life, and as the Bible says, God is love.

Do not get me wrong, the mind sneaks into the life of spiritual beings
from time to time. Women can be temperamental, men can get bossy,
and vice versa. Negative emotions come and go in spiritual people just
like mortals. The difference is that spiritual beings see the mind for what
it is, thus it will pass much faster and have no effect on the relationship.

If the ups and downs are out of control, It just means you do not
know the truth, so keep studying It until you do. The truth solves
all problems.

Marriage should be the most wonderful thing possible, but it is not,
because our own minds screw it up. Carnal love is not as good as divine
love, because with divine love, you can have them both.

Spiritual people have both divine love and carnal love. They have
It all.

This happens too often: two people fall in carnal love, an epic romance
follows, and the world and everything in it becomes new and wonderful.
That is the way it is supposed to be, so that is a very good thing. This
goes on for a month or a few years, and you decide you should
get married.

The relationship gets even better for the next year or two; you think you
are in heaven. Then you start having kids, and it is even better than it
was before, but a new dynamic has entered the picture. Another really
cute and demanding human being is now in your lives, and it can and
does change everything.

Women start giving more attention to the child than the husband,
because she has to, to get the child off to the right start in life. The man
starts to think that it is time to start getting ambitious and make more
money to support his family.

The same energy: This is the place that many people start going in the
wrong direction. The man finds out that it takes the same energy and
attention to make money as it takes to sustain a great romance. People
that do not know the truth can either have a great romance or great
business, but not both. At least, that's how it appears, but there's a way.

53

www.truthcontest.com

The problem is that many men go for the business and not the romance.
This is a big mistal<e, the second biggest mistake you can mal<e,
because you end up losing everything, including the money. A spiritual
being can get both, but when there is a choice, and you can only have
one, a spiritual being always picks romance. You find a balance, but
lean toward romance.

You take your work very seriously, but you take your family more
seriously.

More than fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. People would not
get into an airplane if there were a fifty percent chance it would crash,
but they get into a marriage with more than a fifty percent chance it will
crash. It is tragic.

Temptation: When a couple spends a lot of time apart, they can lose
their connection and the romance in their relationship. When this
happens to people that do not know the truth and the life, the temptation
of a new younger woman or more attentive partner can destroy their
relationship. It is a deception of the mind.

To a spiritual being, the grass is never better on the other side of
the fence.

When a spiritual man comes to that fork in the road after children are
born, he takes the road to romance with his mate, and they live happily
ever after.

The only ambition a man should have is to make his family happy.

That is why I say it is just best to have a normal, middle class job. It is
the best thing to do, and it makes it easier to live a spiritual life. You
have regular hours and can leave your job behind when you come
home. You can and do always eat together, sleep together, and live
your lives together. Togetherness is the goal.

The love of your mate and family is the most valuable thing in the
universe.

The truth is, nothing else even comes close to the fulfillment and love from
close relationships. This knowledge is necessary to make a love relationship
as good as it could be, should be, and has to be to get to heaven. You can be
in the present by yourself, and you have to learn to do that first, but sharing
the truth and the life with another person helps keep you in the present.

54

www.truthcontest.com

The trick is to do the opposite of what you think you should do.

You have to feel good before you can make others feel good.

Love is reflected in love: People are always worried about how the
other person feels, and that is the opposite of what you want to do. If
you feel good, they will feel good. If you feel great, they will feel great.

You can do this most of the time when you know the truth. You learn
how to get your mind out of the present, and get yourself into it.

Naturally, you should do what you can to make your mate happy, but
the truth is, you are not in control of another person's mind. People can
only control their own minds, and if they do just that, they will have a
fulfilling relationship that lasts.

Live every moment, like it is your last dance on earth.
Carlos Castaneda

Sex: It is the most sacred thing that there is. Sex makes it possible for
spiritual beings to join completely with their mates and create new life. It
brings people out of their heads and down into their bodies. It centers
you and brings you to the present better than anything else. Sex in the
present is as good as it gets.

Fantasy is okay to get things going, because sex is of the mind, but
once you get into it, you want to get out of your mind and just be in the
present with your mate.

For spiritual beings, it will be like the first time every time, a perpetual
one-night stand without the negatives. Love is always new. You will be
making love for the first time, every time, and you become one flesh as
it says in the Bible. You just have to know the truth and have your mind
under control, so that you are free to love all the time.

Sex creates all new life, so it is the balancing opposite of death.
Nothing is more serious. To not take sex seriously is like not
taking fire seriously.

You always have to remember that you do not want any great pleasure
if it is not in the truth and the life, because it will be balanced by an
equal amount of pain.

55

www.truthcontest.com

Spiritual people do not have sex just to experience an orgasm; that is
what animals do. Spiritual people do it to experience the present in a
profound way. They do it to have children and/or to get more into the
present and grow closer to each other and true life. It is not something
to just play with to get some free pleasure, because there is no free
pleasure, except in the truth and the life.

If you are not in love and the time is not right, you should not have sex, and
spiritual people will not. Young people that know the truth, male and female,
will abstain until it is right. Casual sex will disappear, because people will
know better; they will know it is not the way. Spiritual beings know right from
wrong for certain, so they never do anything wrong, simply because they do
not feel like it. There will be no sex before or outside of marriage.

Sex can be the best thing or worst thing for a person's spiritual
growth. If you feel like doing the wrong thing, it means you do not
know the truth.

Rhythm method: With new technology developed to help women get
pregnant, married people can use it in reverse to prevent pregnancy, so
no other birth control is necessary. Things like temperature tell when a
women is fertile or not.

Masturbation: I need to address the masturbation situation. Even when
you know the truth, you may still rub one out every so often, and that is
okay. It is better than going out and hooking up with some whore to get
that satisfaction. The worst that happens when jacking off, is your
mother catches you doing it. When you have actual sex, it can cost
money, get her pregnant, give you an incurable disease, get you killed
by her old boyfriend, or all of the above. Thus, jerking off is definitely the
better option if the sex drive is over-powering.

That said, religion is right on that subject. You should not do it, but it is not
just that you should save yourself for your true love; it has to do with the
balancing force. You do not want to get any unbalanced pleasure, unless
you are prepared to receive an equal amount of pain, because every
physical pleasure is balanced by an equal amount of pain as certain as the
sun rises and sets. There is a lot of concentrated pleasure in an orgasm.
In fact, it is the most concentrated pleasure found in these bodies, so
every orgasm you have equals a lot of pain and negative feelings. If you
are going to play the balance game, you may as well do it backwards, and
just give yourself pain first. Go get a hammer and smack your toes with it.
That will guarantee you a lot of pleasure down the road.

56

www.truthcontest.com

When you see the truth of the balance, you realize you do not want any
pleasure that does not come from knowing the truth and life, because it
is the only pleasure in the universe that is not balanced, because it is
not physical, and thus not part of physical law. It is not even to be called
pleasure. It is fulfillment, bliss.

Until you learn the truth to the point that it goes subconscious, it is best
to stay in the middle of pain and pleasure, or it will just make learning
the truth impossible. It seems a little boring at first, but then it turns out
to be where God lives.

You only want to have sex when it is true love and thus spiritual sex. Any other
kind will damn everyone involved in every way, but this is only after you know
the truth. All the sex you had before you knew will be forgiven, but not now.

Just remember, when you are jacking off, the hammer on the foot
is being created as you do it, and it will stop you from doing it.

No one is making true love now. Our minds are making it impossible.
They think certain parts of their bodies are not big enough, that other
parts are too big, that they are too old, etc. The comparison game gives
people an inferiority complex and other false, unnecessary neurotic
conditions. It not only ruins their relationships, but manifests in most of
the world ills, from wars and crime to depression, loneliness and broken
families. Seeing the truth and the life turns this around, and it will not
only lead to personal fulfillment, it will change the world.

Making true love: Like everything in life, it is just a matter of
perspective, and knowing the truth gives you that perspective. The way
to do it right is simple, so it is easy to remember while making love. This
is it: Just try to feel what the other person is feeling, and not what you
are feeling. You make yourself (your mind) disappear and live through
the other person, feel what they feel, feel what you do to your partner as
if you were them as you do what you do.

This Is the definition of being unselfish. It is not possible to do it
completely, but by putting yourself in the body of your lover as much as
you can, you meet in the middle and become one flesh as the Bible says
you are supposed to. If you are a male, the goal is not orgasm, because
that ends it. The goal is not to have an orgasm, so you can do it as much
as you want. The goal is to make the other person feel as good as you
can, as long as you can, because the better they feel, the better you feel.
Most of spiritual love is romance, affection, and foreplay, not just the
intercourse. That is just the end of it. It takes practice, lots of it.

The following excerpt explains the situation more in depth. There are
some things that are not true, such as that we once had the ability to
mal<e true love and lost it. We never had it, but we can have it now.
There are some nuggets of truth mixed in with the things he says that
aren't true, so read with that in mind: Barry Long - Making Love, Sexual
Love the Divine Way - www.barrylong.org/statements/makinglove.shtml

Modesty: Just as men should not use their greater natural power of
physical strength to overpower and control women, women should not
use their naturally greater power of physical attraction to overpower and
control men. In some places in the world, this is taken to extremes.
Some women in the eastern world are forced to cover themselves up to
take away some of their power of attraction, which is not good. Some
women in the west do the opposite and dress and act in a way that
maximizes their power of sexual attraction, which is not good. When the
truth is seen, women will live in the middle, and be modest ladies. This
will be the right way to be. Woman are a powerful force in this world,
and not until they see the truth and take control of their natural power
will the world find peace.

Children: We will tell them the truth and live it with them. They will learn
from us, and we will learn from them. We have to stop lying to children;
it is the worst thing we can do to them.

People tell them Santa Claus is real and that getting rich is the best
thing to do. Santa is fun and should stay, but he does not have to be
real, so why tell kids he is, knowing they are going to find out you lie?
We are lying to them, and we need to do the opposite. We need to bring
them up knowing the truth is the most important thing in life. We are
now teaching them that deception is the way. We now show them that
adults are lying hypocrites that do not know the truth, but they will not
admit it from the very start. It has to stop if we want to survive.

Overpopulation: Bringing children into the world is the most important
thing we can do, because the more we bring in, the more souls that will
get a chance to get to heaven, but we have to manage it better.

The Bible says, "Be fruitful and multiply."

The world only seems over-populated because of the way we distribute
the space and resources. This world could support a lot more people

without crowding anyone. We could easily double the population with no
problems, but only if we know the truth and have the basics of survival
and quality of life for everyone.

58

www.truthcontest.com

Birth control: We will have to control the births in the over-crowded,
very poor parts of the world, until we get them as productive and
organized as us. We will do this by giving everyone free birth control
technology and other incentives to not have more than one or two
children until they can support more. Poor countries are having more
children than they have the resources to support, and this causes
poverty and all the tragic problems that come with it. The births have to
match the available resources. As a country becomes more productive,
they can have more children, but not until then. It will be a good
motivator for people to become productive. Once they see the truth,
they can use the rhythm method.

Adoption: Spiritual people will be into big families, but will adopt more
children than they have themselves, and only have as many children as
they can support.

Family: Spiritual people care about family, friends, the world community
and the environment. Life will consist of really living with them and
making life better.

Cool love: People that know the ultimate truth and become spiritual
beings have love for everyone and everything. It is a cool love which is
different than hot, passionate carnal love. You can only have carnal
love, hot passionate love with one person, so the most important love to
have is cool love, because it will define the majority of your relationships
in life. Most of your relationships are with friends, family, work
associates, and other people you come in contact with in life, so
understanding cool love and living in cool love with all these people is
essential to having a fulfilling life.

New kind of love: The way it is now, is all or nothing. People just give
all their love to carnal relationships and family. Mankind needs to learn a
new love relationship that can include everyone else. It is the kind of
love that is missing in this world and needs to be found now in order to
create a heaven on earth.

In "The Present (with religion)," I said there were three possibilities for
where humans go in their next life, and one was that we can stay where
we are. I did not mention that you could bounce back and forth with your
pet or farm animals, I say it in other places. If you do, you are not
evolving up or down, just staying at the same level. It could happen, then
both souls go to heaven. This could also happen with husband and wife.
You may switch places in the next life span. The man has to lead. If the
wife needs to lead, it means she will come back as a man in the next life.

59

www.truthcontest.com

It is also possible that you and your pet or spouse can go to heaven in
your next life, if you have all you need and if you are so close you
become one flesh with them. You could even do it with your children or
anyone you become one flesh with. You can take a wife or a pet that
does not know the truth to heaven if you become one flesh with them.
The important thing is to love and know them so well that you become
one flesh. It is not a sexual thing as many believe; it is a love thing, a
matter of attention. Remember, divine love = attention. This is why
predator and prey switch places. This is advanced learning, so you may
have to be committed to helping spread the truth for a while before you
can understand it.

Unconditional love: Unconditional love requires one condition, and this
is that people must know the truth. If they do, they will have real
unconditional love for everyone and everything in life. This is because
they will love God (everything), and be a living reflection of God, and as
the Bible says, God is love.

Cool love is the love Jesus, Buddha, and all the prophets were
teaching.

Cool love is love without sex, unless you get married. Then you can
have cool and hot love, the ultimate love, but you have to start with cool
love to have the ultimate love. Cool love is made of truth, respect,
understanding and attention.

Girls have to keep their legs together until marriage; it is up to them. A
man that pushes it does not know the truth and is a loser. If he really
loves you, he will wait. If not, he is not worth your love, and you're better
off without him.

People living in the mind will give you pleasure and pain, so it is a waste
of time. You have to find someone into the truth and the life that can
give you cool love if you want to be successful in life and love.

I know it is hard to resist. The devil is described as being beguiling, and
it is. The devil mind will appear to out shine and be more attractive than
spiritual people. Don't be deceived. Jesus and Buddha did not have
any animal magnetism, so that should tell you something. Spiritual
people are attracted to spiritual people; animals are attracted to
animals. What are you? You are what you do.

Truth Contest Symbol

Truth Contest symbol: My goal has always been to say what the truth
of life is in the shortest possible way. Some people may thinl< it tal<es
the thousands of pages written by Osho and IVIartinus, others the 250
pages of The Present (with religion), others the 101 pages of The
Present, others just the first 3 pages. For me, it is the Truth Contest
symbol. Without words it shows the three Ts; Infinity, Immortality and I
AM (Self). After you have been a prophet long enough to pay your
entrance fee to the divine collective unconscious, the symbol is all you
need to remind you of the truth of life. That is important, because it
matters most when you are about to die.

For example, say you were on board the jet in the video below. You
would not have time to mentally lock on to any words, but with the
symbol alone, you could leave the jet and become an infinite, immortal
spirit before it was forced on you when the jet hit the ground.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTd7r3jRPrs

Actually, you do not leave the jet, you just are not just the body in the
jet, you expand out and into infinity and are deathless, with God/life,
thus you are not lost with your body when your body is killed. This
minimizes the fear and discomfort. Those things are what keep animals
in the animal cycle. Death and rebirth in the animal realm happens
because of being overwhelmed by those feelings.

Mansions in heaven: If you have been a prophet for a long time, given
a lot of time and/or money, you've built a place in heaven, have laid up
treasures in heaven, so even if you're overwhelmed, you will still go to
heaven. That is what Jesus is referring to when he talks of mansions in
heaven. The word itself derives (through Old French) from the Latin
word "mansio", which means "dwelling". You do not have the kind of
mansions rich people have in the animal realm; you do not need that in
heaven. That said, you have paradise, all you want.

In John 14:2-3 we read, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

www.truthcontest.com

The Bible says that each person that knows Jesus will be rewarded
according to what good deeds he performed here on Earth. Spreading
the truth of life as he did is the best deed, the best work you can do, for
you are doing the will of God.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves do not break through nor
steal. l\/latthew 6:20

Our symbol represents how our souls, which are nothing, have
individuality. Single cell life started as a bubble that thickened into a
membrane, the cell membrane that keeps what is outside out, and what is
inside in. Our individual spirit is defined the same way, a bubble of mind,
represented by the white circle around the black center, which represents
nothing. You will notice the symbol has a thinner wall than the drawing in
the beginning of "The Present" that represents the animal mind blocking
out true life. That is because the symbol represents the divine mind, and it
lets all of divine life in. We will use this symbol to aid in our meditation, to
help us reduce our animal minds to the thinnest possible barrier, just
enough to keep our individuality, but let in all of divine life.

For a more detailed explanation of the symbol, see the Nature of
Nothing section in "The Present" at www.truthcontest.com.

Spiritual Sustainability

Chapter One: One More Bad Death

...if caught without a fast painless option (gun/drugs) or time. The way I
see it is the death experience/environment is part of the current cycle
and is unavoidable for long. It needs to be dealt with the same way we
deal with everything that happens; we let our knowledge of the divine
truth be our guide.

One more bad death: You will not know if you know the truth until right
before you die; that is the moment of truth. Being honest about death in
the animal realm will motivate you to make this the last time. We are
playing a very serious game, and forgetting that it is, is one of the
biggest problems.

I would not let the fear/pain/shock of what is happening send me into
the dead man's spiral to perdition. If you do not know what a dead
man's spiral is, you need to read our insight titled: Heart Over Mind? It is
one of my favorite short stories. To make a short story shorter, it is a
condition where your senses, emotions, etc. tell you things are OK when
actually you are going to experience a violent death.

I am using it as an analogy to say I am not going to let the outrageous
environment I find myself in to throw me off the path to a heaven. Just
like religious old ladies, I believe in an afterlife in paradise. The
difference is, my reason for believing it is based on the truth of life, not
some old misinterpreted BS.

The environment of eminent violent torture and death is why there are
so many animals. It removes anything except your animal instinctive
reaction. This reaction would give you no possibility of being reborn as a
life form better than an animal.

If an easy life has allowed you to live your life as a nice guy, without
being an animal except for sex and other semi-violent, but no one gets
hurt worthwhile activities, you are an animal, but just do not know it or
acknowledge it. This ensures that when your time has come, you die
animal and are reborn animal. Evolution continues and you come back
to a world much like you just lived, live another life, evolve a little more,
then get whacked and start over. That is the best you can do. There is
also the possibility that you start over at the bottom of the food chain.

63

www.truthcontest.com

On the other hand, if you have learned the truth of life and you really
have checl<ed it and really know it, you have the possibility of going
some place besides the animal realm, a place without all the negatives
of the animal realm, a place religions call heaven. It all depends on your
perspective, who you are, what you are, what you have been doing in
your current life, and most importantly, that you have changed to live in
the divine truth of life.

You cannot fake it. You have either evolved past the animal, or you
have not. You leave the animal realm, or you don't. You have never left
it before, or you would not be in the animal realm now. No one would
leave a heaven for the animal realm, so it means you have never been
there. That also means it is hard, if not impossible to escape. You have
been living in the animal realm for millions of life times. There is
evidence in all religions and in science that a heaven is possible. If it is
possible, the truth is the only possible way to get there.

If you know it, you have a real shot. If not, or you are not sure, you need
to commit your life to getting sure. This may be your best chance in
millions of lifespans to do it, so you have to go for it 100%. You have
nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Judge yourself: Even people that know the truth and the life will most
likely have one more bad death to endure. This is why you have to give
all you can before it happens, because you will judge yourself when it
happens. You have had millions of bad deaths to get to this last one. It
can be the end of a very long, savage, painful, scary road if you know
the truth and life and take the next step.

I personally am on that path.

You are going to have one last bad death. It could be horrible, but it will
pass, and you can kiss the beast goodbye forever.

If you lived a good, successful life with friendship and love in your life, it
will be easy to think you do not need the truth, for this life or the next,
but no matter how good you do in this life or your next life, you have to
go through that bad death again. That by itself is reason enough to try
and get out of this realm.

"The Present - Insights"

On the Edge

On the edge: This section will be for things that cannot be seen clearly
yet, things we are worl<ing on, next step stuff. It is lil<e what quantum
mechanics is to physics; it is at the edge of our understanding. The only
thing I know for sure is they can be known, and will be known at some
point, as opposed to things that cannot be known ever, like
understanding infinity.

I know all the things in the books and other insights sections are true
beyond a reasonable doubt. Everything that can be checked has been
checked. The things in this section are the things I do not know and
would like to know. Because I want to know them, my mind is open to
the answers to these questions, and when the time is right, they will
come to me from the collective unconscious, or via someone in cyber
space, like a team member.

The veil: There is always more to learn, but the things that are not in
the book are not there because they are things you need to realize
yourself. I have a file called "The Edge" where I put things I get from the
collective unconscious that I know are true, but they are too far out to
put in the books. They will sidetrack people, and can do more harm than
good. What you leave out is as important as what you include in a book
about the truth of life. You do not discuss or try to define things on the
edge of what the mind can understand, things like infinity. There are
many things like that that I understand and every truth seeker will
eventually understand after it comes to them directly from the collective
unconscious when the time is right for you to get it. In other words,
some truth should not be known until the time is right to know it. I say
this in the books, but it's one of those things that needs to be said often,
so people do not go off chasing the answers to questions you cannot
know now, and if you did know the answer, it would hurt your quest to
get to a heaven more than it would help. That is why there is the veil I
talk about in The Present (with religion). I talk about this on the first
page when I say what the word apocalypse means. It will be true, as the
Bible says, that the veil will lift for most people at about the same time,
but it is lifted for some people sooner; they are called seers. Seers have
to know what not to say, as well as what to say and when to say it, and

65

www.truthcontest.com

what to let people see for themselves at the time that is right for them
personally. Everyone has the veil lifted at different times for different
things. Commitment to seel<ing & spreading the truth mal<es it happen,
because the more you want it and give to it, the faster you get it.

The source is the collective unconscious or universal mind. It has
different levels that manifest as different forms of life. Every species
represents a different level of the collective unconscious. That is why
evolution happens faster than it could happen with natural selection
alone. For example, a species evolves a poison, or camouflage, as a
defense from predators. Much of it develops through natural selection,
small changes over many life spans. The offspring that has a chemical
or skin coloring that helps it survive survives longer, so it can reproduce
more offspring with the traits. The ones with stronger chemicals or
better camouflage survive longer, thus those traits get stronger and
better, but at the same time it connects with the corresponding level of
the collective unconscious, making it stronger, but the evidence and
speed it happens shows the collective unconscious leads the way, not
the biological change.

Right now we are changing into spiritual beings. Hooking up to the
source of a spiritual being is what is going to make it happen, in
combination with our evolving technology. This is why getting the animal
mind out of the way is key to doing it.

Being Reborn in Heaven

How it happens: I see it as when you die, you become nothing, which
means you are everywhere. When it happens: I see it as it does not
matter; it can be a trillion years. Your soul will wait until there is a
heaven-type environment, if there is not one now somewhere in infinite
space. The odds, the Bible, and evolution say it exists now. Why it
happens: It happens because you have finished evolving; you know the
truth of life, know how the animal realm works, and know how a heaven
would work. You are connected to it as you are connected to the animal
realm, but you see you are leaving the animal realm and feel the pull of
the heavenly realm.

66

www.truthcontest.com

Know the unknowable: There are many worlds like Earth, inside and
outside of our bodies. We live in an infinite universe, and we are
immortal. Those are things you can know for certain. One day, your soul
will be in a permanent heaven. It is the goal of all conscious life. We
have been close many times, have been in temporary heavens many
times, and have fallen back down to the bottom of the evolutionary line.
How it works exactly is one of the things you cannot know for certain. It
is mostly beyond the animal mind, so you need some faith in the truth
and evolution. It is not blind faith; it is based on everything you can
know. When you know everything that can be known, you know the rest
in a way that cannot be explained to anyone else. It is not for people
that do not know the knowledge that can be known. As the Bible says,
you will know the unknowable.

Human beings are always doing the same thing at the same time on
Earth, just like monkeys, wolves, or foxes are doing the same thing
everywhere in the world at the same time. Behavior is determined by
environment, your body and your surroundings, but that does not
explain it when it comes to humans. We all began to speak at around
the same time everywhere (within a few thousand years). The fossil
evidence, cave paintings, etc. show we all changed at about the same
time as described on page 36 of The Present. It proves the invisible
force I call the collective unconscious is real. Let us know if you can find
any evidence for or against this.

Infinite is far out and far in...

How what we do mentally creates reality... like the butterfly
flapping its wings in America and causes a storm in China...

If you see how you receive information, it helps you see it for what it is
(mind). You see, hear, smell, taste, feel through eyes, ears, nose,
tongue, skin that is attached to nerves. Light, sound, etc., is changed
into an electrical impulse that travels through said nerves to a big
bundle of nerves in your head. Your consciousness lives in this network
of nerves. Your soul does not experience the environment directly. It
has to be transferred and translated by your senses and nerves. In
other words, it has to be turned into reality. If something intercepts,
blocks or distorts these electrical impulses, like a drug or injury, it will

67

www.truthcontest.com

change your perception of reality, but not cliange reality, because there
is an infinite number of intact beings all experiencing the same thing, so
reality always stays the same. When the drug wears off, or you die and
are reborn in an intact or unaltered body, reality will be the same again
for you. It goes both ways; mind creates reality by manipulating matter
on the level it lives. Men use their minds to build a building, or focus
energy into movement, such as a war. These things that manifest as
reality for us also help shape the reality for beings that are in other
dimensions, very large or small from our perspective. We are (our
universe) an atom in a larger universe, and the atoms in us have infinite
universes in them, so what we do (the building, war) affects the bigger
and smaller universes and serves to create the same reality for all living
things. Infinite goes in forever as well as goes out forever, so the above
information is not just far out, it is far in too.

Dogs and Cats

It is not only possible, it is probable that pets, especially cats and dogs,
are human next if they have an enlightened owner, and can go to
heaven with this human.

This is the logic and evidence behind that statement:

We know for the balance to be accurate, predator and prey have to
switch places as they both evolve. It may only happen when they are
not too far apart, such as deer and lion, as opposed to whale and
plankton. The balance means fairness, cycles, the eaten becoming the
eater. Souls being equal, they would have to switch places for the
balance to be perfect. The extreme closeness that happens when the
prey dies in the mouth of the predator could be direct attention needed
for the switch. Attention is love in the spiritual world, and both predator
and prey have total attention with each other during a kill event.

If you give your pet your total love, it is the equivalent attention spread
over the pet's lifetime. It is at least equal to the minutes of the kill event.

You may say that there are more rabbits than wolves, so how can they
switch places? The only answer is that it does not have to happen right
away. A wolf can be a rabbit right away, but a rabbit may have to wait

68

www.truthcontest.com

millions of years to balance it. Other planets and dimensions could
easily be involved in creating balance. Remember, we are dealing with
infinity, so time and distance are not an issue. Also, all animals are
close to the same level mentally, so a rabbit could be a predatory fish,
and it would be equal to a hawk, etc.

My dog and I are soul mates. We travel together now, and will be in and
out of each others life forever. My dog is going to heaven, because that
is where I am going. It can be the same for you and your pets. See the
"Dog Heaven" insights section at the end of this book.

Parallel universes, and planets

In an infinite universe, there are many planets very similar to Earth.

If we evolved from bacteria, and other animals were are all the other
human beings, it does not add up unless you take into account that the
animal realm, human realm, and spiritual realm can exist on many
different planets. There are whole universes inside us, in the atoms of
our bodies, from which we can move back and forth as we evolve.
There are millions of planets where trillions of life forms live in a perfect
heaven. That more than compensates for the trillions of life forms on
this planet that live on the animal level.

You also have to keep in mind that most animal life below human is at
the same level, so souls or consciousness can and do bounce back and
forth from species to species, predator to prey, and prey to predator.
Once you reach the level of primate, or higher mammal, such as
dolphins, whales, dogs and cats, you do not go to lower species again,
just to higher life forms until you get to human and get a shot at leaving
the animal realm forever. If you get it and do not take it, you start over at
the bottom of the food chain.

"The Present - Insights"

The Truth About Drugs

Drugs, like all things physical, have a good and a bad side. Drugs alter
your body chemistry. Some drugs can keep you alive longer, and some
can stop pain. Some can help open your mind up for brief periods. Drug
addicts skip the things and just go to the good feeling. The problem is,
they need a drug to do it, and it is not true life. Why not just skip the
drug also?

The Bible says, "Be vigilant and be sober, because your adversary is
like a lion." It also says, "Be drunk not on wine, but be filled with
the spirit."

Do not lie: If you do not know the truth and the life and are not fulfilled,
street drugs will make you feel better. That is the truth, and lying to
people, especially children, is much worse than drugs. We just have to
tell the whole truth, and tell it often, especially to children. Street drugs
can make you feel better, but only for a while.

We just have to tell the truth to solve the drug problem and
all problems.

You feel good when you use so-called recreational drugs, because they
give you a shot of physical pleasure and can get your mind out of the way,
and they open you up. They give you a taste of the present. The problem is,
the present is distorted, and being physical, they swing back the other way
to balance the good feeling they gave you. Therefore, you can use drugs to
feel good if you do not mind feeling equally bad in one way or another.

Drugs show that your mind is largely a chemical reaction. Hormones
and chemicals can and do change the way you feel, your behavior, and
even the way you think. People on hard drugs like cocaine and heroin
feel like everything in the world is perfect when they are high. The next
day when they are going through withdrawals, they feel the complete
opposite. It shows that pleasure is balanced.

Recreational drugs really do not do anything for you, and they can hurt
your quest for enlightenment as much as they can help. If drugs are

used for spiritual reasons to open you up, you can do the non-addictive
ones until you can open up without them, but they have to be used in
moderation, and you have to be honest with yourself as to if they are
really helping or making you feel that good.

70

www.truthcontest.com

The truth is, most of the time, they do not. Hard drugs feel really good
for a short period of time when you first start using them, then the rest of
the time you use them, they just make you feel normal, but instead of
stopping, people use more and more of them in the hope of getting that
feeling they had when they first started. The truth is, they never make
you feel that good again. Even if you stop using them for twenty years
and start again, they still do not give you that feeling you got the first few
times you used them. Only the truth can give you what you want.

Better than drugs: That good way they made you feel the first time you
used them is close to the way a spiritual person feels all the time; the
moment seems perfect and fulfilling in and of itself. Truth and the life
makes you feel better than that. You can feel like that forever, and it
costs you nothing.

You can get high on life, but only if you know the ultimate truth.

If people were educated with the money now spent on putting drug
users in jail, we would not have a drug problem.

The truth will stop drug abuse.

If people were just taught at a young age the truth about drugs, no one
would use them, because the truth is that they hurt you a lot more than
they help you.

The drug education in schools today is all BS and kids know it. We just
need to have real drug addicts come to the classes and just be
themselves, and no kid would want to be like them. Real drug addicts
are very sick people.

Addiction: When you use hard drugs, you become addicted, and you
can lose your chance to get to heaven. Why take the chance with drugs
when there is a better way now?

Chase the dragon: The Bible calls the devil/mind the dragon that
deceives the world. Heroin addiction is a great example of this. The first

few times you do it, the dragon and the pleasure it gives you sits right
on your lap and is your best friend. All you want to do is be with it all the
time, but it starts moving away from you, and you start chasing it. You
can only keep up with it if you are ready to die.

71

www.truthcontest.com

People will spend all their money, sacrifice their job, friends and family
chasing it, but it just gets farther and farther away, and they never catch
it again. No one ever has caught it, because it is impossible; it was a
deception, an illusion to start with. It was a very real and satisfying
illusion of the present, but not the real thing.

Instead of giving you the life it promises, the dragon takes it. It kills you
financially, socially, emotionally and spiritually, and it will kill you
physically, so it is only really good when checking out. Heroin is the
devil in chemical form, unless you are checking out (kill yourself on
purpose). In the past, when the truth could not be known, addiction
could be forgiven, but not now.

When you can stop hard drugs, you do not want to. When you
want to stop, you can't.

Hard drugs: The first few weeks, you feel great for an hour or two and
do not feel bad at all, so you figure, "why stop using them?" As you use
them more, you feel good for less and less of the time, and you feel bad
more and more of the time. Within a month, you start getting physically
sick everyday when the drug wears off. You have withdrawal symptoms.
It makes you feel like you have the flu when you do not have the drug.
When you get drugs, it only makes you feel good for a few minutes, but
makes you well for a few hours. Then you get sick again. That is an
accurate description of a day in the life of a heroin addict.

Addicts like to be by themselves, alone in a motel room with their drugs.
They like to be alone because they do not want or need anything other
than their drugs and the feeling it gives them. Other people just distract
them from their high.

The truth drug: It is the same reason spiritual beings like to be alone.
They do not need or want anything other than God/life. Other people
can just bring you down, unless they live in the truth and the life also. If
they do, they make the present even better. The difference is that
God/life does not cost any money, makes you feel even better than
drugs, and never makes you sick.

No one that reads this will do drugs, because no one would want to live
like that. This is why real education will stop drug use. Heroin is said to
be the worst, but other hard drugs work the same way; they just make
you suffer more mentally.

72

www.truthcontest.com

Addiction is one of the devil/mind's most powerful tools. It enslaves
people, and only the truth and the life can really free people.

The reason that organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous worl< for many
people is they use the truth to help people. They tell people to take life
one day at a time, in other words, to live in the present. Tiiey tell people
there is a higher power that they have to surrender to (the balancing
force). They tell people to embrace the truth and the life. The problem is
that people cannot know the truth and the life completely without
knowing the ultimate truth. If people learn the truth, there will be no drug
addiction. It will just fade away as just another stupid thing that people
who lived in the illusions of the mind used to do.

If my generation has proven one thing, it is that drugs can hurt you more
than they help you. I wish there was a drug that would really help open
your mind without the negatives, but there is not. It would be the
ultimate wonder drug, but it is impossible, so do not expect it to happen.
You have to know the truth.

Ecstasy: Ecstasy or MDMA is probably the closest thing to it. It gets
you closer to the present and keeps you there longer than any other
drug. The problem is, in a way, it screws you up the worst if you get
addicted. The withdrawal is mostly mental, so it takes a long time to feel
normal again. You pay the highest price mentally if you abuse ecstasy.
It is just the balance at work. Taking it a few times, just to see how good
even a little taste of the present is, can be a good thing if you know the
truth, but I do not recommend any drug.

The real present is a lot better, but ecstasy will get you closer to it for a
few hours than normal people are now. The trick is not doing it very
often and in moderation. I am not recommending it, because it is not
necessary, and you take a huge risk that you will abuse it and pay a
very high price.

Happiness pill: There is no happiness pill, and there will never be one.
I am sure the big drug companies are working on it, and they will no
doubt come up with better ones than we have now, but they will just
make you feel better longer, and the negative will come even if it takes
years or the next life.

Even if they do come up with something that completely fulfills you like
the truth and the life does, what happens when you run out of the drug?

73

www.truthcontest.com

You cannot take it with you: You lose everything physical. That is why

using drugs to get into the present will never be as good as using the
truth. You never run out of truth; it is always in abundant supply,
because it is literally everything real. I take prescription drugs.
Prescription drugs are okay, but only if you need them.

In the future, they may come up with a drug that really helps everyone open up to
life, but the ones around now do not. They are just a powerful trick of the devil.

Once you know the truth and the life, you will never use hard street
drugs, because you feel better than drugs can make you feel.

Drugs and alcohol can bring you to the present, but it is a distorted, false
present, a defiled present, a diminished present, and it will cost you in one
way or another. It is just a very powerful and dangerous form of fool's gold.

Psychedelic drugs: I am not recommending it, but if you take LSD, or
other drugs that stimulate your mind to create very real hallucinations, it
will show you just how powerful the mind's powers of illusion are. A
person that knows the truth and the life can always tell the difference
between illusions and reality, because they know reality, and they know
it never changes. Illusions are not governed by laws of nature; reality is.

People like Hoffman, Alport and Leary thought that psychedelic drugs
revealed a hidden, normally unseen part of reality. They were wrong,
because they did not know the truth. They just distort your perception of
true life; they do not change life.

They had it backwards. We want to expand our life, not our minds.

The hallucinations are very entertaining if you know the truth, because
you know they are not real, but if you do not know the truth and think
they are real, it could be very dangerous. I know of a person who
clawed his eyes out thinking it would make him see better. He blinded
himself, and that is not a good thing.

LSD bhngs you to the present, but it is a distorted present, a false present. If
you look at real life with the intensity people look at things under the
influence of LSD, you would see real life is more interesting and amazing
than any illusion can be. You look at things more intensely on LSD, because
it is new. When you learn the truth, you start looking at things as new all the
time, because they are new. Once you know the truth, LSD makes the
illusions of the mind easy to see, so it has some therapeutic value, but it is
not necessary, and like other drugs, the possible bad things that can
happen are not worth the good they can do.

That said, entheogenic use can transform a normal conditioned mind,
and put it into the truest form of learner, the ego-less human creature.
This is an underestimated and misunderstood property, which ultimately
can lead one to truth, more so than the BS we see in everyday society.

IVIost drugs just make you feel good for a short period, and this can be
addictive. You have to replace them with something that makes you feel
even better than them after you are hooked, or you will never be free. Even
after addicts manage to kick a drug habit, they always have the craving to
some degree. They have to spend the rest of their life missing the drugs.

The truth about drugs: What goes up must come down. The higher
you go, the farther and harder you will fall. When you first start doing
drugs, you are amazed at how high you can go. After you have been
doing tliem for a while, you are even more amazed at how low you can
go. It is better to just be where you are and learn to see life the way it
truly is; that is the truth. If you know the truth, you could do them safely,
but if you know the truth, you would not do them.

The bottom line is, street drugs make life worse, not better.

You can drink and get a buzz as long as you do not do anything stupid.
Not driving is the main thing. Violence or any anti-social behavior is
grounds to have to stop drinking. Buy a key chain breathalyzer; it is
cheap and you will know when you cannot drive. If you do not have one,
you should not drink alcohol away from home.

The present is better than any drug, but you have to open it to find out.
That said, whatever gets you through the night is all right, as John
Lennon said, as long as you know what you are doing and the price you
are going to pay.

Drugs are only good things when you're sick, in pain or checking out.

I would be a hypocrite if I said some drugs such as marijuana at some
times do not help, but you are playing with fire. Marijuana can lead to
harder drugs.

The Bible says, therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us
watch and be sober.

There is now a better way to get into the present. It is free and
lasts forever.

Just remember that Jesus did not do recreational drugs.

I talk about Jesus and focus this book on the truth in Christianity,
because America is a Christian country, and we need to change
America to change the world. It is the only country that has the power to
change the world in time to save the human race, so we have to reveal
the truth in Christianity first.

We have to follow Jesus, and he did not do recreational drugs, so we
cannot do them if we are to follow him. True Christians do not need
recreational drugs.

If a drug makes you feel better than normal, gives you pleasure and a
feeling of peace and understanding a thousand times, but does the
opposite just once, that tells you it is an illusion of the mind. All drugs
have a down side equal to the up side, so people that do it for the
pleasure are not getting anything, because it balances out. Do you
really want pleasure that creates equal pain?

Don't chase pleasure: What most truth seekers forget and need
constant reminding of is that spiritual fulfillment is not to be confused
with pleasure. You can feel crappy and even be suffering in great pain
and be fulfilled. This is not heaven; there is pain here. Fulfillment is
more than just pleasure.

A woman in childbirth is in great pain, but fulfilled at the same time.

People start out seeking truth and fulfillment, but end up chasing
feelings of pleasure, and they get on the merry-go-round of physical life.
You need to be in the center and just watch the wheels go 'round, as
John Lennon said in a song.

Fulfillment is better than pleasure, and it is possible to have it forever.
You can only have pleasure half the time and pay for it with an equal
amount of pain, so you do not seek it. You seek only fulfillment, even if it
does not always feel good, and it won't. That is a tough thing to explain,
and people have to discover what I am talking about for themselves. It is
the goal, it is the Present, and you can only get tastes of it in this life
because of other minds.

Some people try to help it happen with drugs, fasting, isolation, rituals,
etc. They are not only unnecessary; they get you off the path of just
accepting what is, no matter what it is. In this world, everything real,
including physical pain, is God/life.

"The Present - Insights"

Reform Political System

Everyone knows our political system needs to be cleaned up.

Politics: Like everything else, our government has everything
backwards and upside down. In a true democracy, the people are in
charge, not the elected officials. Elected leaders are public servants and
should do the will of the public. That is not happening now. The so-
called public servants spend much of their time and our money serving
themselves and their party or support group.

To fix the system, we have to make a few changes to the system.

We will remove the incentive to be corrupt. Outlawing campaign
contributions and favors has been tried and does not work, so we have
to create a political environment where more money does not help in
any way. We have to really level the playing field for everyone.

Every state has different procedures and requirements to get on the
ballot. This makes it time consuming and expensive to get into a
national election. We change it to make it easy to run for office for
anyone who wants to run for office.

Webpage: All candidates will have to have a website that is in a form
like all the other candidates. It will be an equal and uniform presentation
of the candidates. When an election is coming up, an email is sent to
everyone to notify them. You then would click on a link that shows you
who the candidates are, and you are provided links to their websites
that will tell you all about them. You can ask them questions by just
emailing them. Every site will have a message board, so people can
debate the issues and their proposed plans for us.

Vote on the issues: All the websites will be identical to each other, so
we can see in black and white where the candidates are on the issues,
and we can compare apples to apples.

The way it is now, it is a popularity contest; people vote more for
or against a candidate's personality than where they stand on
the issues.

77

www.truthcontest.com

Debates: We will use the websites to narrow the field down to just a few
people, and then we will have televised debates. The public will
compare the candidates through televised debates paid for by the
government. The problem with the debates now is the candidates are
being allowed to avoid the questions, and this needs to be changed. If
the candidates do not answer the questions, are evasive, or make a
statement, they are penalized or kicked out of that debate.

Vote online: We will all be able to register and vote online. We will be
given a security code when we register and/or use our social security
number. People think that voting online could be tampered with easier
than a ballot box at a fixed location. It is not true; anything can be fixed,
especially ballots, because we have had hundreds of years to figure out
how to do it and get away with it. The truth is, voting via the Internet can
be much more secure. Voting has to be made easier to get a true vote.
An online voting method would be the easiest, and it could be made
secure by allowing it all to be seen electronically as it happens. A lottery
would pick three independent auditing companies from all the
accounting firms in the US to check the system's integrity before and
after every election.

Vote all at once: The way it is now, the Iowa caucus picks our
candidates for president. No one in history has won that has not come
in first or second in Iowa. It is monkey see, monkey do. Less than one
percent of the US population picks our candidates. What is wrong with
this picture? We have to all vote at once, or the people that vote first will
influence the people that vote after them. The monkey see, monkey do
effect can win elections. This is why we have to vote online for it to be
fair. If people do not have their own computer, they can use a friend's,
or they can go to the library and use the ones there.

Polls: We have to also ban popularity polls, because of the same
monkey see, monkey do effect. Nothing should affect the outcome of an
election except votes.

Where does the money come from? Politics takes a lot of money;
where does it come from? The people that provide it are the people that
control our country. The real power of the political office is getting to
spend everyone's tax dollars. You control the purse strings. If you need
money to further your political career, which you do with the way things
are, it is very tempting to make deals with people that build freeways
and schools and other projects paid for with tax money.

78

www.truthcontest.com

Lobbyist: Lobbyists that work for special interest groups need to be
outlawed. They now influence all government action by giving money to
candidates directly and offering them lucrative jobs in the private sector.
This subverts democracy.

The way the system is now forces good people to make deals for
money just to get in the race. It forces good people to be corrupt to be
elected and stay in office. We need to change it so that it does the
opposite and favors fair play. It is that simple. The sooner we change
the system, the sooner things will change.

As long as great amounts of money are needed to get into public office,
the people that supply the money will be in charge. The people that
supply the money will get laws passed to benefit them, and they will get
our tax dollars. That is not fair, moral, or a true democracy. It is a
corrupt system.

The media: Our reporters in the media are basically well intentioned
people, but they do not report the complete truth when it comes to
politics. Anyone that tries to loses their job or loses access to the
candidates, so they help keep the secrets. They have no choice but to
keep the money secrets to stay in the game. Again, the system
indirectly forces people to be corrupt to be in the game.

Everyone will be forgiven for what they did before the truth was revealed
if they change when they learn the truth. There are no bad guys, just
people that do not know the truth, people that have been misguided and
given no good or fair options.

Tlie people in power can stay in power if tliey cliange their ways.

Abolish the party system: We need to abolish the two party system.
Everyone should be an independent. Powerful political parties subvert
true democracy. The people do not elect public officials as much as
democrats or republicans do. The way it is now, the people do not even
pick the candidates; the parfies do. We can only vote for the candidates
that they give us. How is that a free election?

79

www.truthcontest.com

Divide and destroy democracy: The truth is, everyone is liberal and
everyone is conservative. It depends on the issue. No one is totally a
conservative or totally a liberal on every issue. The two party system is
just a tool of the people in power to divide people and to corrupt and
control our government. The two parties just make a conflict possible,
and that conflict can be and is manipulated by the rich and powerful to
control the government. It makes a true democracy impossible.

The powers control both parties. Money, organization, and political
power is what decides who is elected to public office. If you do not play
ball with one of the parties, you cannot even run a campaign that has
any hope of winning.

Outlaw speechwriters: The candidates have to write their own
speeches or speak spontaneously. This is how we find out who people
really are. We do not want to hear what speechwriters say; they are not
the people running for office. There will be no teleprompters at debates;
only a few notes will be allowed. When our public servants are working
with other people to resolve issues on our behalf, they will be winging it,
so we need to see how good they are at doing it.

The new, high-tech way of running elections described above does not
require the money and organization that a political party provides, so
they are no longer necessary. Let's get rid of them and all powerful
special interest groups, and then we can have a true democracy where
the people are really in charge.

With the two party system, only a few chosen candidates can run for
office. Using inexpensive websites to promote candidates means
hundreds of people can run for office, giving us a much greater choice.
We would have eliminations to narrow the field until we have under ten,
and then we go to the televised debates.

We have to take the money and access issues out to have fairness.
The Internet and TV have made traditional political parties obsolete.

We needed the party system in the past, when candidates had to travel
around making political speeches. They do not have to now, so we no
longer need the infrastructure to support it. We no longer need
expensive political conventions, the electoral college, or any of the other
trappings of the political system. They all corrupt and subvert a true
democracy. Technology has made all old style politics obsolete. Thanks
to technology, true democracy is now possible.

80

www.truthcontest.com

Free elections: We can now make free elections really free and fair.
When you register to vote online, you are automatically sent all the
information on candidates, when election will be, etc. All you will have to
do to get further information from different candidates is to search the
net, and then press a button to vote for the candidate of your choice.

We should not let the traditions of the past in religion or politics
hurt us. We keep the good things and delete those things that are
no longer good.

Experience: Candidates are always acting like experience is important,
that the most experienced politician is best qualified for office. The
opposite is true. The longer someone is in politics, the better they are at
politics, not better at running our country. They also cannot help but get
deeper into corruption. If the candidate has been in public office just a
few times before, it is a good thing, because we can see how good or
bad they were, but newcomers can do the job just as well, and this has
been proven true.

The most important things are honesty, integrity and intelligence, not
experience. Candidates should spend their time figuring out how to
make the public's lives better when they get in office. They should not
be spending their time figuring out how to make their lives better, raise
money, and promise favors when they get in office, but they have to
now to stay in the game.

We want the best leaders and managers in office, not the best
politicians.

Take the politics out of elections: The current election system creates
great politicians, wheelers and dealers, not necessarily great leaders or
problem solvers. Our leaders are forced to spend more of their time
making deals to get re-elected than running our government. We have
to turn that around now.

The bi-partisanship between the political parties is paralyzing and
corrupting our government. Republicans side with republicans,
democrats side with democrats, and the party with the most members
wins. The issue is secondary. Politicians do not vote on something's
merits as much as to empower their party or enrich themselves
financially or politically. Politics should not have such a powerful
influence on our government. It is an outrage, and it will destroy us.

81

www.truthcontest.com

If they do not want to play fair, do not play with them until they do.

Don't vote: People think voting is the way to change things; the
opposite is true. The way things are now, there is no point in voting, so
everyone should stop voting until the system is changed. If hardly
anyone voted, they would get the message, and things would change; it
would lead to real election reform.

It is going that way now. Fewer people vote now, because they know it
does not matter; the game is fixed. We just have to take it all the way
and not vote in any elections where one candidate has advantages over
another or there is any BS.

Spiritual people recognize the truth when they see it and also BS.

Can you imagine protesters with signs that just say "Don't Vote"? It
would be so shocking that it would get all kinds of publicity, and it would
work for that reason.

We make voting mandatory for everyone when we reform our political
system. We make it easy by voting on the Internet. People would use
their social security number or driver's license number to prevent voter
fraud. If people don't vote, the penalty could be a fine or loss of your
driver's license.

Crooks: Everyone will be happy when things begin to change, even the
crooks, because most crooked politicians really do not want to be
crooks. They just think they have to be crooked to win, and they are
right. Most people think the ends justify the means, because it works.
Cheating works, and it should not. The reason even the crook will
welcome a new, fair system is they are beginning to wake up to the fact
that they are going to die along with everyone else if we do not make
the change and make it fast. The survival of everyone depends on it.

The way it is now, the biggest hypocrites, liars, and best deal
makers win.

We all lose: We have to change things so that honesty works, and
everyone will benefit. Until then, the bad guy wins too often, and we all
lose, even the bad guys, because the human race will not survive if
things are not changed soon.

82

www.truthcontest.com

A candidate's website will tell you all about them and what they will do if
they are elected. Their platform on all the issues will be spelled out.
What they plan to do, why they are going to do it, and when they will do
it must be documented. This is the only way we will we be able to
compare apples to apples and make a truly informed selection. As it is
now, we do not know what we are voting for.

In the first round of eliminations, we should not even have pictures
or the names of candidates, so people will only vote on the issues.

Accountability: Elected officials will be accountable for what they
promise and do. Empowered watchdog groups will compare what they
say to what they do or try to do. If they do not do it, they will
automatically be removed from office without pay. The person that got
the second most votes will take their place.

So-called spin doctors are socially acceptable liars. They're the worst liars.

It will be illegal to lie, deceive or mislead the public, even by private
companies. Advertising on TV will no longer be able to tell the truth in
small print. Small print will be outlawed. All public deception, especially
by people running for office, will be outlawed and punishable by large
enough fines and long enough jail sentences to stop it. They will also be
banished from office for life.

It's not only legal to lie and steal from people, it is institutionalized.

Earmarks will be outlawed. Adding pet projects to other bills is the
source of a lot of corruptions. It is an obvious and outrageous flaw in our
system of government. Anything that is going to cost taxpayers' money
will have to be authorized separately and stand on its own merit. That
way, we will have a record of who is spending our money and what they
are spending it on.

Technology has progressed enough to end all unfairness in politics.

Transparent Government: Everything the congress and the senate
does will be recorded by TV cameras and microphones, and available to
be accessed on the Internet by any citizen at any time. The minutes of
every meeting will be published on the Internet. Closed door hearings
will be banned. We improve C-SPAN and notify all people automatically
of any important bills being voted on. All citizens will get emails
everyday to alert them of how their money is being spent.

83

www.truthcontest.com

Open book: Public office will mean just that. If you choose to get into
public office, you must give up your right to privacy completely. You will
have no private life at all. Everything you do, everything you buy or sell,
and everyone you associate with will be made a matter of public record.
We have the right to know what people we trust with our money and
lives are doing. If people want privacy, they will have to get into another
line of work. Public servants will have to log a written record of what
they do everyday, just like a captain of a ship, and post it on the
Internet, so that anyone can access it.

Watchdogs: Professional watchdogs will be drawn by lottery from the
public, just like juries are now, and be paid by the government to watch
what our political leaders are doing and to make a monthly report that
will be linked to the public official's website. Nothing someone does or
says in public office will ever be deleted or not be available to the public.
If anything is, they are out. We have to consider fixing a vote or
deceiving the public the worst thing a person could do, and a conviction
of the offense will result in automatic punishment.

Trust: You cannot trust anyone that does not know the ultimate truth,
because they really do not know right from wrong. They wear two hats;
one for the public and one for themselves. You can trust people that
know the truth, simply because they know right from wrong. They know
that helping others is helping themselves and the world we all live in.

Public servants: We have to take the profit and power motive out of
people's reasons for running for office. We have to make it the type of
job that only people interested in helping and serving others will want.

High office isn't to play big shot and feed someone's ego and wallet.

People more interested in helping themselves will get into some other field.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world
will know peace. Jimi Hendrix

The people will run the country: Voting on the Internet will be so easy
that everyone concerned will vote on any big issues, issues that will cost
them money, or issues that affect their way of life. Public servants will
just make the little decisions and do the day-to-day work. They will no
longer be the big shots they are now, just civil servants, working for our
benefit, not theirs. The age of the big shot politician is over. We will
just have public servants.

84

www.truthcontest.com

True democracy: On the first day of the month, everyone can just go to
a website that lists issues that are being decided, and you just can
check a yes or no box to vote on what you want to happen. Everyone
should do this every month, so the public will really be in control of what
is happening. This is the only way to have a true and fair democracy,
and we can do it now. Being involved in one's own life is the way it
should be and has to be, and it will be easy.

Written simply: All issues to be voted on will be written simply, so
everyone can understand it. The pros, cons, and cost-benefit of
something people are voting on will be explained in no more than one
page. Things such as cost, how long it will take to do, and potential
benefits and problems will be spelled out.

We will elect officials that are good at coming up with solutions to
our problems, good at explaining the issues simply, and good at
doing what we tell them to do efficiently and at the lowest cost.

Most public offices will only be paid a middle class wage and will have
the same medical benefits that people that work for minimum wage
receive. This will encourage people that want to play big shot and help
themselves more than us to get into some other field, and that is the
way it should be. Even high offices like congressmen, senators, and the
president will just make two or three times the average middle class
wage, and get the same benefits working people do.

This will do two things; it will just attract the right kind of people, people that
want to help others more than themselves. People that just want to enrich
themselves will go elsewhere. It will also improve the pay and benefits of the
people at the bottom of the economic ladder, so that they can live a decent life.

Government of the people: All political leaders have to come from the
middle class or lower. Fat cats should be disqualified from public office,
because we can see how they live, and that they are overly interested in
power and making money. We want to keep those kind of people out of
public office.

A representative government must represent the majority of the
people, and rich people are not the majority of the people. This should
be obvious, but people cannot see it now. You can be rich or be a
leader; you cannot be both and be representative of the majority of the
people. Our leaders (representatives) have to live like the majority of
people live to know the real problems of the majority of the people. This
in and of itself will begin to change the world.

85

www.truthcontest.com

Taxes/government: Poor people should not have to pay any income
taxes. The more money people make, the more they will be taxed, but
not so much that it removes the motivation to make a lot of money. Tax
laws will be simplified, so you do not need a lawyer to understand them.
Complicated tax forms just benefit those that can afford lawyers, while
they hurt everyone else.

Sales tax: Most tax revenue should come from sales tax, especially
from junk food, alcohol, cigarettes, luxuries and any non-necessities.
Higher taxes should be on anything that hurts people, or costs society
or the environment in any way. For example, we raise the taxes on
incandescent light bulbs so they cost more than compact florescent
bulbs that use a forth of the energy. We tax gas guzzling cars so they
cost more than hybrids, etc. We raise tax income and help the
environment. It does not hurt the companies that make the old
technologies, because they just start making more of the new
technologies. It does not hurt the economy, because it creates more
jobs to develop and manufacture the new products.

It Is most fair, because the people that spend the most on
themselves pay the most In taxes. If you don't want to pay taxes,
just don't spend money.

Reverse the tax system: It would simplify the tax system; we would
barely need an IRS. We just reverse the system. Why tax what you
make? Why not tax what you spend? You need no tax forms or any BS.
It's the same amount of money. People spend everything they make
sooner or later, so the tax base would be just as big, even bigger,
because people could not hide what they spend like they hide income. It
will just make the system fair and easy. Tell your congressman today.

Science of democracy: A new science needs to be created just to
study how to make democracy work in the most efficient and fair way.
Once we wake up, everything I say above will just start happening, and
the past will be the past.

Once we get America's political system right, we need to do It for
everyone.

"The Present - Insights"

World Government

World government: A world government is the only way we will be able
to control pollution, manage our limited resources fairly, and prevent
destruction of the natural environment. It has to happen, or the earth will
become uninhabitable.

How can people think we can survive without managing all our
resources? We need a world government to manage our resources
and ourselves.

If America stops using something dangerous to the environment, this
does not mean other countries will. We banned DDT, but it is still being
used all over the world, and it is the same with just about everything
else we have banned.

Nuclear disarmament: It cannot happen without a world government,
simply because even if everyone agrees to do it, we cannot trust
everyone to do it. No one tells the truth when it comes to nukes.

You cannot put the genie back in the bottle when it comes to
nukes. We do not even know how many there are.

Genetic engineering: The only thing that can improve the human
condition more than genetic engineering is the truth. Genetic
engineering is the second most important thing. Just as the truth can
transform us mentally and spiritually, genetic engineering can and will
change our food and our bodies physically.

Good/harm: Genetic engineering has the potential to do the most good,
but it also has the potential to do the most harm. Without a world
government, it will not be controlled enough. It is just a matter of time
before someone accidentally or intentionally creates a virus or mutation
that will kill every human being on Earth. It is not a matter of if, it is a
matter of when, and we know it will be soon.

Only a world government can enforce the expensive control and
security needed for creating new life forms. The potential profits
and benefits are so great that people will cut corners and take
risks that will kill us all.

87

www.truthcontest.com

The human race will have to be united in order to control the new and
dangerous technologies we have developed and are in the process of
developing now. Forests will be cut down, oceans will be fished out,
water will be polluted, and species will go extinct if we do not have a
world government. We do not have a choice if we want to survive. This
will become obvious when people wake up.

No one can spend the money for the long term and stay
competitive.

Win/win: When we stop something and take someone's job, we do not
do it until we pay to train them to do something that makes even more
money. We do not just throw people out of work. We give them
something better, so they want to do it. We do not use force, the stick, if
we can use the carrot. You cannot really stop something effectively
unless the people doing it are given a better way to go.

Population control: It will take a world government to manage
population and resources. The population of a country cannot be
allowed to outpace their ability to support and educate their children.
People starve and the beast comes to life. In nature, when there are not
predators to control the population, the population grows until the
environment cannot support them, and then they die off. It is a natural
cycle that the human race is in right now. We have overcome all our
predators, including most diseases, and our population has
been exploding.

The overpopulation/starvation cycle has killed us many times in
the past.

People think we are so special and different from other animals, when
the truth is, we are probably just living through another overpopulation
starvation cycle.

We can do it again, or we can start to manage the whole world for the
benefit of everyone. Right now, every country is working for their own
local self-interest, and the way things are set up, they have to, to survive
and compete.

88

www.truthcontest.com

Long term: We cannot work on any long term solutions to problems we
know are coming and stay competitive (stay in business) without a world
government. We should be stockpiling enough food to feed millions of
people for a long enough period of time to survive the droughts and
other natural disasters that we know are coming. We have to be able to
move farmland to suit the weather, regardless of ownership. We need to
anticipate and stockpile antibiotics, vaccines, and other medicines to
deal with the flu pandemics and other plagues we know are going to
come. We need to be able to go through the natural disasters we know
are coming without the social chaos and political upheavals that will
compound the disasters. Not working on the long term is certain doom.

Divided we fall: Separate nations will never be able to stop using
destructive technologies and depleting natural resources or prepare for
future disasters on their own, because they are competing economically
with other nations. The way it is now, governments can only spend
money on immediate problems in order to stay competitive with other
countries. Long term planning and spending is an absolute necessity for
the long term survival of the human race, and we cannot do it now. It is
impossible for us to survive as separate competing groups. The only
way to survive is if we stop competing with each other, and that can only
happen with a free, democratic world government, and we have to
create it soon.

The government's main job will be to make sure everyone has a
good job.

Most problems such as crime, injustice, and religious fanatics come
directly from poverty. Thus, the government's main job will be to keep
people productive and making money. There will be many new
government jobs created for people whose job is to find or make people
good jobs.

If there is not enough work in private industry, the government will
create jobs to keep people working. If people do not know how to do the
job, they will also pay to train people to do the jobs they find or create.

President Roosevelt's New Deal did it to pull the country out of a
depression. Big public projects like dams improved the country. He just
put people to work doing things that had long term benefits for our
country. It ended the bad economic times. This should be an ongoing
program to keep everyone working all the time.

The New Deal was not perfect and did cause some harm, because we
were competing with otiier countries, but we have learned from it and
can do it now in a way that will work perfectly. The dams we built then
are still benefiting us today, producing clean, free electricity, and
providing irrigation for much of our food production. We could start
building other ways to take our electricity from the sun and ground, such
as solar cells and geothermal energy. Everyone would win.

Not bad guys: The oil and coal lobbies have been and are now a
powerful force against developing other less expensive and cleaner
energy. Businesses have to do what is best for their stockholders; it is
their job, so it is not really their fault. It is the system's fault, the
government's fault. Businesses are run by people that have families.
They do not want to destroy the world anymore than anyone else, but
they cannot change without government help. It is why slavery lasted so
long in our country. Most people knew it was wrong, but many people,
especially in the south, could not stay in business without them. Thomas
Jefferson kept slaves for this reason. It took government intervention
and a war to change things. Things are different now; we can change
anything, and we do not have to wait for a war.

Instead of beating on the oil companies, we should be giving them big
enough incentives to make it profitable for them to do what we want
them to do. They are in the energy business, and if we give them
enough incentive, they will develop new energy systems like solar and
geothermal. They do not want to kill their kids.

Government intervention is necessary to do what is in everyone's
long term, best interest. Businesses cannot do it and stay
in business.

The problem is that government has the same problem business
has. They cannot work on long term problems and get re-elected.
They are forced to just do things that will keep them in office. This
has to change first.

The free enterprise system is the best system, but it has a down side,
and that is what government is for. It keeps free enterprise working fairly
and in the best interest of everyone. Government will just work for
everyone, keep the balance.

The more people who work, the more that gets done. The more people
who benefit from that work, the more tax money there is, and the more
government projects that can be undertaken. We will never run out of
ways to improve life, so we will never run out of work if we stay
organized. We all just have to wake up.

Work for everyone, everywhere, all the time: You always hear people
saying that if we had the money we could rebuild our infrastructure,
solar power, etc. There is a powerful illusion that prevents people from
seeing that we can do anything we want to do, build what we want,
create good jobs and make things better for everyone, everywhere, and
we can do it anytime anywhere.

It is work that creates wealth, not wealth that creates work. People
have it backwards, and when they see the truth and turn it around, this
world will turn into the paradise it should be, could be, and will be.

When people wake up, they will realize that we can do anything we
have the technology and will to do.

What we really need is some inspired, enlightened leadership.

Paradise: There will be a world government, and it will make sure
everyone on Earth has work, food, shelter, freedom, education, medical
services, protection and equal opportunities. It will be every human
being's birthright. All these great things cannot happen without the truth
being known and a large population of spiritual beings. This is why the
truth must get out soon. If it does not, there is no hope for the human
race. We should and could all be living in a heaven soon.

As Jesus said, we just have to find the truth and everything else
will follow.

The truth is, making other people wealthy will make us wealthier.
The more money people have, the more they will have to spend on
our products.

Not socialism: It may sound like socialism or communism, but this is
not what I am talking about. A government of and for spiritual people will
reflect the new life form we have become and are becoming. It will be
the first true democracy.

Free market: To have a free market that works the best, we have to
have a few rules for the free market to work the way it should.

We have to have a few things we can count on, such as a level and
dependable playing field. We do not have to throw the baby out with the
bath water. People always swing from one extreme to the other, and it's
the middle ground where life works best. They go from capitalism to
socialism, when there is a middle way.

Level playing field: We socialize (regulate) a few things to make a free
market work the way it should. Energy-banking-insurance-medical-
education-politics, an economic safety net (welfare), and a few other
things. We control and regulate them, so they are always fair and
always there. It would make a level playing field that everyone can
count on, live in, work and prosper within its framework.

We (the government) pay for education through college, because it pays
off for a country to have highly educated citizens. We pay for medical
care, because a healthy population is more productive. We pay for
insurance, like earthquake and flood insurance, because in major
disasters, the government ends up having to pay anyway. People who
choose to live in areas that have earthquakes or floods will have to pay
a premium to do it. The government can choose to use that money to
build levees or cover losses, etc. If the government mandates
insurance, such as they do with automobile liability insurance, they
should provide it, so it will be available to everyone at the lowest
possible cost. It should not be a profit making business like it is now.
People should not profit from what people are forced to do.

Medical care: It will be available to everyone for just a nominal fee for
those who can afford to pay, and free for those who cannot. It will be the
best it can be.

Americans are always saying "look at Britain, Canada and other
countries that have more government controls," and point out they do
not work as good as the American system, and this is true, but that does
not mean we cannot make it work. We are America, not them, and we
make things work better than anyone.

92

www.truthcontest.com

Greed: The insurance, banking, energy, the financial markets, and a
few other businesses will need some regulations and government
control until the truth kills the greed in people's minds. Most parts of the
economy will be free market capitalism, with much less government
control and regulation than we have now. Deception will be outlawed
and enforced in all business, so this in itself will clean up most
problems, especially in banking, the stock market and real estate. When
you remove the tool of deception from the crooks, they will die out and
go extinct.

Buying low and selling high is only a good thing if you earn the
profits. You can get money from work, determination, risk, virtue,
intelligence, or luck, not by inside information and inflation.

Speculation will only be allowed for IPOs (initial public offerings)
of stock. That is necessary to get new business off the ground, but
after that, the price of a stock will be what it is really worth, based
on its hard assets, income, and future potential if you were to sell
the company.

You will never have to worry about the basics to live, because the
government will provide them for all; we do not want anyone to starve or
be pushed to desperation. People will not be afraid to take the big risks
in business to pioneer new technologies, etc. This safety net will help
the economy. It will be a true democracy and a free market system that
works for everyone.

As long as our minds are out of control, society will be out
of control.

Governments do not change the way people are; only the truth can do that.

It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to
be good. T.S. Eliot

Governments in the past have tried to force people to change, to share
the wealth, and it has never worked, because any change has to come
in the people themselves first. Real change starts with people and
moves out to government.

It starts at the bottom and moves up, the opposite of the way it is
now. Jesus said to learn the truth first, because it makes the
change happen.

93

www.truthcontest.com

Many governments, such as communism, have tried to share the wealth
without success. The reason those forms of government came into
being is because sharing the wealth is a good idea, and people know
equality is the best way deep down. What they did not know is it could
not work without the people themselves changing. It is human nature
that needs to change for the world to work right.

Justice in the life and conduct of the state is possible only if first it
resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens. Plato

Jesus said, "A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit."

Not Communism: Communism is not a good form of government, and it
will not work, because it tries to make people something they are not.
People have to be free to be inspired and productive. Communism has
been tried and we now know for certain that it does not work, and it has
resulted in every injustice imaginable.

Life without liberty is like a body without a spirit.
Khalil Gibran

People have to change themselves for the world to change. Real
change only happens when the people themselves change.

Truth + freedom + justice + prosperity + God/life = heaven on Earth.

Trying to control people leads to injustice, corruption, violence and spiritual
death. Freedom does the opposite when combined with the truth.

A free market, capitalistic democracy is the best form of government.

As the people in America learn the truth and are transformed into
spiritual beings, capitalism, free markets, and democracy will begin to
work for the benefit of everyone. Democracy could not work the way it
should until now. It is not just the system that is flawed; it is the
people in it that are flawed.

George Washington, Jefferson, and the other founding fathers were
right. The American form of government is the best form of government,
but only if we become good enough people to make it work. We are not
now, but we may be soon. As the population of spiritual beings on the
planet grows, government will grow smaller because it will be needed
less. People will do the right thing without anyone telling them to. At first
government will get bigger, and then smaller.

Division illusion: As people become more aware, they will see how we

are all one people on this planet. People will see we are one species.
They will see how minds made borders that separate people, and they
have resulted in most of the wars. In the future, borders will only serve
to preserve local culture and traditions.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne

As we see the truth, borders, along with all other things that separate
the human race, will begin to disappear. We will wonder how we ever
saw people as being different from ourselves. It all looks so stupid and
wasteful from a spiritual being's perspective. We will stay different, but
come together in the truth and the life.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Utopia: You are probably thinking that I am talking about a Utopian
society. You would be right. It could not work in the past, because
people in the past could not know the ultimate truth, and they did not
have the technology needed to do it.

Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life
for all people are recognized and accepted as a common obligation
of all people and all countries - not until then shall we, with a
certain degree of justification, be able to speak of human kind as
civilized. Albert Einstein

People are people: When the truth is seen, all life with human DNA will
be seen as the same, and we will strive for equality in everything. We
will respect all life and the environment that makes it possible. We have
to cut the crap now, or we will drown in it. We will see that total equality
is the only path to heaven, and the only way to avoid our own
destruction. It is Utopia or death. It is life or death.

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature and its beauty. Albert Einstein

Do the right thing: It will not be socialism, communism or any other
ism, because people that know the truth, spiritual people, will not have
to be told to do the right thing. Spiritual people do not have to be told
what to do by a government. They will just naturally share and do the
right thing. It is their nature to do the right thing. They know that helping
others is helping themselves.

95

www.truthcontest.com

We now have to make a choice between spiritual and physical life
or death.

Illusion of freedom: We will never be free until we are free from the
devil/mind. We will not be truly free until we have the freedom Jesus is
talking about. Everyone, politicians, the media, schools, business,
churches, all institutions are controlling us with an invisible force that
masquerades as freedom. "We are all trapped in the same hypocrisy,"
as Michael said in the Godfather.

The Bible says, "We fight not with flesh and blood, but against invisible
hosts of evil." The invisible force is our own animal mind, the beast within.

People want to be know and live in the truth, but they cannot
because of this invisible force. It is our own mind manifesting, projected
in all our institutions, and only the truth can free us and save us. When
people see it for what it is, when it can no longer hide in the dark, it will
die as a vampire does.

As the Bible says, the light will save us.

The start: This book is like light, and as the truth in it spreads, it will
grow stronger while deception grows weaker. It really will be a David
and Goliath story. Now, it is just this book against the whole world. In
the Bible story, David wins.

Conspiracies: People want to think that there are powerful, secret
societies doing all kinds of mischief that affect our lives and destinies. It
is not true. People cannot control themselves, let alone other people, for
very long.

There are many secret societies that are trying to do this and that, but
they are not smart enough, and they do not have enough time or
cooperation from others to really do anything besides make themselves
feel important for a short period of time. They cause plenty of
unnecessary trouble, but that is all.

Greed and need for control that starts conspiracies destroys them.

96

www.truthcontest.com

Every once in a while, someone comes along in these so called secret
societies that has real leadership qualities, and he really starts to do
something. Just as his diabolical plans start to look like they are going to
work, he gets old and dies. Then his party animal sons and other people
that follow him cannot do anything, and the great plan falls apart.
People do not live long enough to really pull off any complicated, secret
plans. Everything underhanded people do has a built in self-destruct
mechanism.

Omerta: It means "silence." It is an Italian word the mafia used. People
in their criminal business have to be loyal and not talk to outsiders about
what they do. The problem is, criminals by definition are people that you
cannot trust. They screw people for a living, so it is not surprising that
they will screw the people they work with. This is why organized crime
will never be a bigger problem. It is the same with conspiracies and all
underhanded endeavors.

Man proposes, God disposes.

There are many rich, powerful people in many groups, and they all have
their big plans, but self-interest and greed make them work against each
other. People cannot get along or keep secrets for long enough to pull
anything major off.

Conspiracies are weak: Hidden plans do not have as much power as
the plans everyone can see, because the plans that are not hidden,
such as democracy, pass easily from generation to generation and can
develop over hundreds, even thousands of years. Secret conspiracies
are inherently weak by comparison.

Conspiracies will never be able to alter our destiny.

People want to believe in conspiracies, because they want to believe
there are people in this world smart enough and powerful enough to
control the world. They do not want to believe this world is run by the
people that appear to be in power, or no one, and that this world is out
of control, and we cannot blame them. However, the truth is, what looks
like the truth, is the truth. Of course, all leaders are influenced by
powerful people, but they are still the leader, and they can do what they
want to do if they really want to do it.

Rich people are too busy being rich people to cause too much
mischief.

97

www.truthcontest.com

There are unseen rich and powerful people pulling strings, but they are
just making themselves more rich and powerful for a short period of
time. There are many groups, secret and otherwise, that are successful
in spreading lies and misinformation, but almost everything is lies and
misinformation in one way or another, so it doesn't affect things much.

Illuminati: If there is an llluminati, they are not very illuminated and are
nothing to worry about. They do not know the nature of reality, or they
would not be trying to control it. They will not be able to change it, no
matter what they think.

There are no bad or good guys, just people that know the truth and
those that don't. Many will learn the truth and change their ways,
and many won't.

Government conspiracies: Many people think there are all kinds of
government or military conspiracies that hide the existence of UFOs,
etc. The truth is, the government is not an entity in itself; it is just people,
mostly low paid civil servants that could not keep a secret about
anything for long. What about all the other governments on Earth? Are
they all in a conspiracy to hide the truth from the people? There are no
big government or military conspiracies hiding anything.

There are legitimate government and military secrets, but no
conspiracies.

People that try to perpetrate conspiracies and people that want to
believe in them are just playing mind games while wasting their time
and real opportunities. The world will only change when people change.
People are corrupt now, so the world is corrupt now. When people are
not corrupt, the world will not be.

All the protesters out there, thinking they are fighting big brother, are
actually the people helping big brother most. Big brother (the animals in
power) love people that make people think there is an effective
opposition to them, when there isn't. The only way to take them down is
with the truth. If all those protesters would help spread the truth, big
brother would not stand a chance. The people hurting our world need
their deceptions and lies. If we expose them, shine a light on the
deception, they will die; they will disappear just like vampires exposed to
daylight. We wouldn't kill them or even hurt them; we would help them.
That is how the truth works; everyone wins. It converts the bad guys into
good guys. It changes animals into spiritual beings.

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, the dead shall be raised incorruptible and
we shall be changed. For the corruptible must put on incorruption
and the mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Doesn't matter: It does not matter what people do to change our
outside world; it is the inside changes we make that matter. If we
change our inside world (our minds), the outside world will be a
reflection of that change and be a paradise.

Only real power: The real unseen power behind everything that
happens is the collective unconscious, and the balancing force, God/life.
It will not be unseen for much longer, because we are beginning to
wake up.

Big brother: There will be no big brother; the opposite will be true. Do
not worry about more cameras and greater knowledge of what everyone
is doing. Good people have nothing to hide; only bad people do.

Cameras do not lie, people do. The more cameras we have,
the better.

The beast in us needs to be able to hide its work to survive. Cameras
and other surveillance systems show the truth, so that part of our minds
fears them. Cameras and other so-called intrusive technology will help
the truth and hurt the deceivers of the world. We need to bring
everything into the light of day; the sooner the better. If we had a
camera in every streetlight, it would stop crime.

The mind/devil is like a vampire; it cannot live in the light of day.

Invasion of privacy: The truth is, no one is watching you through most
of those cameras. Video is just being recorded, so If a crime is
committed, they can look back at the recording and see who did it.
Cameras are actually not much of an invasion of privacy like most
people think. They are a great deterrent to crime and the best evidence
to convict criminals. They make life much safer, so they are a good
thing. The more cameras we have, the better.

People are always saying that one day we will have an implant in our
hands and no one will be able to buy or sell without it. They act like it
will be the work of the devil, take away our privacy, and that it is a bad
thing. The opposite is true; all good people will welcome that
technology, because it will just make it harder for the bad guys to rip you
off. You cannot have true accountability without knowing the truth. The
more surveillance, the better. Surveillance is only bad if you are a bad
person or you have a bad government. If you fear the government, you
fear the beast will control the government. The beast always has up
until now, but that has to change, or even the beast will die. If there is a
corrupt big brother, all is lost for everyone, even the rich and powerful.
The world of the beast will end by the truth or by the death of everyone.

The rat race will be over, and the rats will have won.

Never give up our rights: We do not want to give up our rights. To the

contrary, we want to make wiretaps and search and seizure more
difficult. We never want to suspend Habeas Corpus or any of our hard
earned civil rights.

Big brother will learn the truth: The government and our world will not
change until the rich and powerful, the people in control, learn the truth.
They will change, because they will realize that it is in their best interest
to change.

Life is short: The rich and powerful will realize that their own death is
going to ruin all their big plans; that the balancing force will make them
poor and under the thumb of the powerful in their next life. They will
learn that this world and the whole human race, including their family
and friends, are going to go extinct in the near future, if they and others
like them do not see the light and stop trying to control and dominate
people.

We are all just pawns in a bigger game, especially the rich and
powerful.

The majority of people in power will learn the truth and become spiritual
beings in the near future, or everyone will be dead, and most people
can see that now. The rich and powerful are going to have to learn that
they are not winners. They are actually the biggest losers in our history,
because they will have destroyed the human race. The rich now have
the human race and their fate in their hands.

The accelerating progression of technology makes a world
government and total surveillance an absolute necessity to save
the world.

The only question is, who will control it; the beast or God/life? It will be
very good or very bad, depending on who gets control, and it could go
either way.

If the beast wins, the human race is finished. Just make sure you
know the truth, so you will go to a world without the beast in your
next life.

This life span is not long, so it is no big deal. You can endure anything
for a few years if you know the truth. The beast has always won in the
past. You have lived with the beast in control for millions of years; what
is a few more? We may not be able to beat the beast in this world, but a
spiritual being will live the rest of their life trying, just because that is
what a spiritual being does.

Save yourself: All you can do for certain is save yourself. If the majority
of people just saved themselves, the world will be saved too. What
happens to others is not up to you. Other people are on their own
evolutionary path. You can only do what you can do. The saying, you
can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink, is true. Your
job is learning the truth and spreading the truth on the internet.

If the spirit wins, there will be no need for cameras or even laws.
However, until then, we will need them to help stay in control of
what we can control.

Revolution: Do not even think about overthrowing the government. It
would just make things worse and give the beast more power. The
government is not the problem, mankind is the problem. Deception, the
beast within, is the problem. As John Lennon said in the song
Revolution, "You say you want a revolution, well you know, you better
free your mind instead." You have only one revolution to fight, and it is
in your head. Do not worry about anyone else, because it isn't up to you.

"The Present - Insights"

Corrupt Church and Dogma

The Bible says that Jesus came to save us, that he is mankind's
redeemer.

Was Jesus a failure?: If you believe what the church believes, you
have to believe that Jesus was a failure. The way the Church believes,
less than one percent of mankind will go to heaven. That is failure by
any measure if he came to save mankind.

To believe Christianity in its current form is to believe Jesus failed.

Current so-called Christians are saying with their beliefs that Jesus was
a failure. Most people are missing this fact. They are saying Jesus can
do anything, except for what he came to do. If Jesus is a failure, so is
Christianity. Christians either have to admit Jesus failed or is failing to
do what he said he came to do, or admit the Bible has been
misinterpreted. Which is it?

The truth is, it is not Jesus that has failed mankind; it is
Christianity that has failed Jesus.

Jesus saves: Jesus was supposed to be mankind's redeemer, not just
save a few devoted followers that have blind faith in a religion that
makes no sense. If we begin to face the truth, it still may not be too late
to save most of mankind.

The Bible says, in John 9, "Once I was blind and now I can see."

Hidden in plain sight: Jesus in the form of the truth and life is here
now, being hidden in plain sight by the devil mind. As he said, he is in
spirit and truth.

Mind is always a Judas, it can never become a Christ. Judas was
the most knowledgeable disciple of Jesus. All the other apostles
were illiterate; he was the most cultured. And it is natural, not
accidental, that he betrayed Jesus. The heady people are always
betrayers: they don't know the beauty, the grace, of love, of
commitment. They are traitors — the head is a traitor. Osho

102

www.truthcontest.com

New Pharisees: The church of today is just as closed-minded as the
Jewish religion when Jesus lived. It is doing the same thing they did by
not accepting the things that Jesus said. They are not seeing and
accepting the second coming of Jesus, because of their inflexible
dogma. Nothing has changed.

Saved: You are no longer blind and can now see the truth. Just forget
what you thought the truth was, just realize it was a deception of the
mind, and you will begin to see what Jesus came to show mankind, and
you will be saved.

Everyone is waiting for a savior, when you need to savior (save
your) self.

IVIake sense: Preachers are always trying to make sense out of their
beliefs. In doing it, they are acknowledging that it is important for the
truth to make sense, and are indirectly saying that the truth needs to
make sense to be true. The problem is, no matter how hard they try, the
current interpretations of what Jesus and other prophets have said do
not make sense, no matter how many ways you twist it around. The new
interpretations do make sense and are self-evident.

Truth will have no gods before it. The belief in truth begins with the
doubt of all truths in which one has previously believed.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The interpretation of the sayings of Jesus that make sense should
supersede the interpretations of Jesus that do not make sense, because
that makes sense.

The past is the past: The people that believed in a religion in the past
and believe in them now have not done anything wrong. Most of them
have done the best they could do with the information they had to work
with, but now they have new information. It is just like it was when Jesus
came the first time.

It is a new day: Now that you can know the truth, you have to
acknowledge it and change accordingly, or you will be lost. You will be
committing a mortal sin.

There are no longer any excuses for believing in a myth.

103

www.truthcontest.com

Jesus made sense: Everything that Jesus truly said is simple and
makes sense. The truth always makes sense. The best way to know
what Jesus really said and did not say is to give it the common sense
test. It is pretty simple; if a person or even a child with average
intelligence cannot understand it, it is not something Jesus would say. If
it takes a scholar to explain it, it cannot be the truth, because Jesus said
the child-like (babes) and the uneducated can understand it. The truth
has to be simple to be for everyone.

Believing in myths: Many people believe in one of the many different
religions, because they just want to fit in and go along with everyone
else. It is tradition, part of the culture, so they think it must be true.
People have the need to be part of something, be in an old and
accepted social group. It is mostly monkey see monkey do, the need to
belong and be in a group, just like monkeys.

To admit a belief merely because it is a custom - but that means to
be dishonest, cowardly, lazy! - And so could dishonesty,
cowardice and laziness be the preconditions for morality?
Friedrich Nietzsche

Many get involved with religious myths just because they do not know
what the real truth is. They cannot just believe death is the end; they
subconsciously know it is not the end. It's not that people believe in a
mythical God so much as that they cannot live life without believing in
something besides what they see.

Worship: What they really have is hope that if they worship, praise,
pray, make offerings, and tell this imaginary God how great he is, this
imaginary, invisible, egotistical God may turn out to be real or become
real, and save them from all the horrors of this world. The tragedy is the
opposite is going to happen.

No choice: People look around and see the magic of life and say this
cannot all just happen by chance, and they are right. Religion offers an
explanation that goes past death, and until recently, nothing else did. It
was the only game in town, so it naturally grew and became a big part
of human culture.

104

www.truthcontest.com

Hammer or nail: In the past, you had to choose between being the
hammer or the nail. Naturally, most people would choose to be the
hammer, even if the beast was holding it, especially if the beast was
holding it. Just recently, science has offered people another choice, but
it is cold and incomplete. Science and religion have been the only two
choices people have had, so they had to choose one, even though
neither gives people the ultimate truth that they are seeking.

New choice: This book offers a third option for the first time. It is new
revelations of the truth that are a combination of science, religion, art,
philosophy, past and present, common sense, and everything else that
reveals the truth. With the new truth, you do not have to be the hammer
or the nail. You can be something much more, and you can get rid of
the hammer and nail altogether.

Everyone can be right: For the first time, people have a third choice
that incorporates the others, a choice that does not require them to give
up their current belief system. It says everyone is right, if you know how
to see the truth. It has to be the way, because any other way would
cause conflict, not peace. It also makes sense and gives people a
complete picture of the ultimate truth. You do not have to give up
religion and science to embrace the third way; you get into them more.
You get into everything more. The present encompasses everything.

It is all true. If you know what the truth is, you can see it in
everything.

Mine the truth: The fact is that not all the written truth or mind truth is
found in one place. Bits and pieces, nuggets of truth, can be found in
the words of different prophets, philosophers and poets. The richest
deposits are found in religions. You have to sift through a lot of waste to
find the nuggets and put them together to get a complete picture. It's
why Jesus says you have to seek to find it.

The truth is forcing us to come together: It is a very good thing that
the truth is not all in one place. It is no coincidence that the truth is
spread out in all the different cultures of the world. It forces us to unite to

get the complete picture, and we have to unite for there to be peace on
earth. The collective unconscious, or Holy Spirit if you prefer, knows
what it is doing. It gives us all a real chance.

The easiest way to know what the truth is and what it is not, is to
understand that if it does not include everyone, it cannot be the truth.
The so-called Christians of today exclude everyone except themselves
from heaven. They believe everyone except themselves are going to
burn in hell. According to their belief system, all Jews, Muslims, Hindus
and most of the rest of the world are going to burn in hell forever. It
means that Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln are burning in hell right now,
just because they did not believe as they do. They also say that the God
they believe in is a God of mercy that loves everyone.

This is why it is the message and not the messenger that is important. If
a prophet's message is interpreted correctly, it will include everyone and
benefit everyone. If people worship the messenger, there are different
ones, so you cannot help but misinterpret the message. It will lead to
conflict and war.

The Bible says that the church exists to bring forth the ideal man.

If this is why the church exists, it has not accomplished its mandate yet.
The reason it has not is because it has been misinterpreting the Bible
and prophets.

The church: The myths in the Bible were created in the same way the
Greek, Egyptian, and all the other God myths where created. In addition
to wishful thinking and creative story telling, people who wanted wealth
and power motivated the creation of myths. Example: organized
religions in Europe around the middle ages only promoted myths that
would help them get and keep power over people. If people knew God
was in the present and they did not need a priest or the church to get to
heaven, they would not have any power over them.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as
false, and by the rulers as useful. Seneca

Constantine 312 AD: When the Roman emperor Constantino made
Christianity legal and the favored religion of the Roman Empire,
Christianity became a political tool. Because it did, it became the most
successful religion in Europe.

106

www.truthcontest.com

The Council of Nicaea 325 AD: Constantine and the council of Nicaea
created the Bible (the canon) and Christianity. The Bible is not just one
book or the only Christian book as many people think. It is sixty six
different smaller books that came from different times and places, and
they were just put together. There were hundreds of different books in
the second and third century about what Jesus said, and they were all
competing with each other until the council picked what they wanted
and systematically got rid of the competitors.

They did not pick the books that were included in the Bible by the
evidence. They were chosen by popularity and what helped the people
picking them most.

This book puts together the truth from all the books and fills in
the blanks.

All the books: I have drawn on the other early Christian books as much
as the Bible. This book puts the truth found in all the books together for
the first time.

When the church joined with the Romans, they officially sold
out Jesus.

We cannot be sure anything that happened before Constantine really
happened, because they systematically destroyed evidence of anything
that did not support the new form of Christianity they created. They
destroyed any documents and people that contradicted them. From then
on, Christianity was set in stone. Example: Most of the original apostles
of Jesus were supposed to have been tortured to death without
recanting their belief. Christians say "why would they have done that if
the story of Jesus was not true?" They are right, they would not have,
but that was supposed to have happened before Constantine and the
Council, so we do not know what anyone really did.

When Jesus was sent to the cross, no one stood up and risked their
lives to save him, but people years after his death were supposed to
have given up their lives.

107

www.truthcontest.com

They say that thousands were martyred without recanting their beliefs.
That just does not ring true. In real life, most of them would have
recanted, even if they really believed. Torture can make most people
say anything the torturer wants them to say. The torturer will say they
recanted, even if they do not, to save their job, but we do not see that in
the official record. That means the records have been doctored and
sanitized, as the CIA would say. They cooked the books.

Jesus may have recanted for all we know. The Romans and the Jews would
have said he did, even if he did not, just to justify what they did to him. We
will never know, because the records have been destroyed, doctored and
sanitized over the years by people like Constantine, the council of Nicaea,
and the other people involved in the corrupt, early church.

Thrown to the lions: Most Christians believe many martyrs were
thrown to the lions in the Colosseum. It is just a myth. There is no
record of it ever happening. The Romans did a lot of bad things, but
they did not feed Christians to lions.

Propaganda: It is called propaganda, and it is standard for new rulers
to change and manipulate the truth to support the people in power. After
Constantine, there was almost nothing in the official record to contradict
the state approved story of Jesus. Any competing stories of what Jesus
said were changed or destroyed along with the people that believed in
them. They were the enemies of Jesus before Constantine, and after,
they were still the enemies of the truth and the life, but now they had the
church on their side. They said there were no other competing
doctrines, that there was only the one that is currently in the Bible. It
wasn't until just recently that we knew other gospels even existed.

When power hungry, ruthless and immoral megalomaniacs like
Constantine start using myths to get and keep power over other people,
a myth can turn into a mainstream religion. That is how Christianity
became what it is today, and it is still being used as a political tool to
create wealth and power.

People will say that people will not lie and make up things about God,
but the evidence says that is all they do. If they did not, how were the
Greek, Egyptian, and all the other God myths created? Someone has to
be making things up.

108

www.truthcontest.com

The Church sold its soul to the devil when it got in bed with Rome.
They joined with the Romans that crucified Jesus, and Peter,
their founder.

Think about it; the stories of the Bible are about the struggle of the
righteous, peace-loving believers in Jesus against the evil brutal
Romans. They were the devil. The 666 in Revelation is a reference to
Nero, an emperor of Rome in early Christian times. The Romans
tortured and killed Jesus and then they become the Holy Roman
Church. The Christians joined with the beast; it is a historical fact.

It was not as if Constantine was converted to the ways of Jesus. He was
not into peace and love. He was one of the most ruthless and brutal
emperors. He even killed his own children and a wife. He just used the
religion as a political tool.

Like most religious things, the Bible is backwards and upside down.
People are thinking Genesis is about something that happened a long
time ago, and it is about what is happening now. Revelation is supposed
to be about now and the near future, when it is mostly about the
beginning of Christianity and nonsense.

Most of both books and the rest of the Bible are misinterpretations, or
meant for people that lived in the past. Trying to find truth where it does
not exist is just a deception to distract people from the real truth that the
books contain.

I am not saying that all Catholics are the devil now. I am a Catholic, and
I love the religion, but the truth is the truth, and what happened in the
past happened.

Spiritual people do not let the past defile the present. The past has
passed.

Everything that happened in the past, no matter how bad, had to
happen for us to be where we are now. I would not be writing this book
if I had not spent all that time in catechism classes. The past is the past,
and it must be kept in the past.

You have to keep in mind that people in the past could not know
the truth.

109

www.truthcontest.com

The church of the past was controlled by men that did not know the
truth, but believed tliey did. This turns the beast loose, and no one was
more brutal or corrupt than the early church. It has been a long, bumpy
road to get to the truth.

When you look at all the big, expensive castles and cathedrals built in
middle age Europe, you can see that the royal families and churches
divided all the wealth between themselves. The people that had to build
them and pay for their wealthy lifestyle lived in crushing poverty. It was like
the church and royals were in a competition to see who could spend the
most of the poor folks' money. They were in a competition to see who had
the biggest and most expensive buildings, and who could dress in the
most gold.

The kings wore a crown; the pope wore three, one on top
of another.

I do not know which was worse or more power hungry, the popes and
bishops, or the kings and noblemen. They were both into conspicuous
consumption at the expense of the people they were supposed to
be helping.

In addition to taking their hard-earned money, their freedom, and
misleading them, the church often took their lives. The church killed and
tortured people in holy wars, purges and inquisitions. The holy
inquisition burned at the stake over seventy thousand people, mostly
poor women who the church said were witches. They could not have
done it without the myths and the people that believed in them. Myths
are the most dangerous things that exist.

The church that created and interpreted the Bible that most people say
they believe in was so corrupt that they were selling passes to heaven.
They were called indulgences, and a rich person could buy one and
have his sins forgiven.

The church was so corrupt that Martin Luther started the protestant
religion in protest of the corruption. It is impossible for any big
organization that needs money to function to not be corrupted over time,
unless they know the truth.

Jesus said that you have to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Jesus is saying that you have to separate the truth from
the deception.

110

www.truthcontest.com

Clean house: The truth is actually in the Catholic religion in spite of all
the early corruption, but like all religions, they need to clean house, so
to speak. They need to separate the wheat from the chaff, the truth from
the deception, as Jesus said.

The church now is not responsible for what happened in the past, but
they need to acknowledge the truth now that it has been revealed and
can be known.

Jesus said, "A corrupt tree cannot bring fortli good fruit."

The Catholic church says that the canonized version of the Bible is the
only legitimate source of the truth of Jesus. Jesus is saying in the quote
above that the canonized version of the Bible is not good fruit. The Bible
contains most of the ultimate truth, but because of the corrupt people
that put it together, it is not as good or as complete as it could have
been. To say it in a Bible-type metaphor, it is like an apple missing a few
bites. Knowledge is missing; it is incomplete.

When and if the Christian Church wakes up, they will realize that many
of the gospels that were not included in the Bible contain things that
Jesus said that are essential to understanding his message.

Power of the church: The Catholic religion is the original and was the
only Christian church until about five hundred years ago. Because of the
corruption, they lost many of their followers. Many other Christian
churches were created starting with the Protestant religion. It then
splintered even further into countless other off-shoots, such as the
Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, etc. This has weakened Christianity.

Divide and conquer: That's what the devil/mind has done to Christianity.

When the Catholic Church wakes up and sees the light, most other
Christian churches will come back into the fold, so to speak,
because Christians need to unite to fulfill their purpose and
change this world into a heaven. The Bible says, thy kingdom
come on earth in Matthew 6:10.

The Shepherd: Jesus, the good Shepherd, is going to bring his flock
back together. Christians have strayed away from each other and will
come together.

111

www.truthcontest.com

Democracy: When the Catholics and other religions wake up and see
the truth, they will put the past behind them. They will keep most of their
old traditions and rituals. They will melt together and keep the rituals
and traditions that serve the truth, and drop the ones that do not. They
will still have leaders, but the church will become more democratic, and
what stays and what goes will be voted on by all Christians. Jesus (the
truth and the life) will be the true leader.

The other gospels: The things Jesus said that were not included in the
Bible are the key to seeing the light, and I use many of them in this
book. A Bible created by the misguided and corrupt church of that time
cannot be trusted to be the whole truth and nothing but the truth. There
are at least fifty other gospels that were not included in the official
church-approved Bible (the canon).

The early Church under Emperor Constantine and his mother tried, but did
not manage to find and destroy all the banned sayings of Jesus. Search the
Internet for the Gospel according to Thomas, Peter, Judas, Mary "Q," and
you'll see many things Jesus said that were not included in the canonized
version of the Bible. These other Gospels contain some things Jesus said
that were banned from the official Bible, because they reveal you can be
with God in the present and you do not need the church to do it. The truth is,
we do need the church, if it wakes up.

The Church believes in a book created by an evil Roman Emperor, not God.

Like the included gospels, the other gospels have also been distorted,
edited and misinterpreted. Much of it is not what Jesus said or meant, but
they reveal more than just the church approved Bible. You have to seek
the truth in life.

The tree of life is not corrupt, so its fruit is complete, perfect, good fruit.

Recognizing the truth: Once you begin to wake up, you will be able to
see the distortions and misquotes in the Bible and other religious
writings. A spiritual being recognizes the truth and deception when they
see it. You will know what Jesus would say and would not say, know
what he would do and would not do, because the mind of Jesus will be
in you, and it is what you would say and do if you were living in the
same time and place Jesus did.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:5

"The Present - Insights"

Learning and Education

Thrills: There will be no need for risk taking and thrill seeking. The
feeling you get is the way people with completely open minds feel all the
time. Risk and danger clear your mind for a few seconds, which is why
people like to do risky things. Spiritual beings already have clear minds
most of the time. Just being alive is a thrill. The present is a perpetual
surprise; everything is new and interesting all the time. Boredom does
not exist in the present.

Is not life a hundred times too short to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche

A spiritual being sees all life as never-ending adventure. You go from one
fascinating, thrilling moment to another just walking around your house.
Spiritual people do not have to do anything to get a thrill out of life. From a
spiritual being's perspective, just being alive is the greatest thrill.

Mind drugs: The mind produces drugs to deal with dangerous
situations. This is another reason why people like to skydive and do
other so-called thrilling things. People get addicted to adrenaline,
endorphins and other brain chemicals produced in dangerous situations.
The problem is that these drugs can be even more dangerous than
being addicted to street drugs. These same mind drugs make people
feel happy when they win, fall in carnal love, have sex, or get what they
think they want. They make you feel good, but they distort the present,
and they are not as good as the happiness you get from just being
fulfilled by true life.

People get addicted to mind drugs just as they do to street drugs.

Dangerous things do bring you into the present, which is a good thing,
but fear and adrenaline distort it. The truth gives you something better
without any drugs. You do not have to do anything except open up to
get the thrill of being alive.

If you need danger to get into the present, you do not know the truth.

113

www.truthcontest.com

Fighting also brings you into tine present, but it is the worst way to get
into it. It is the way stupid men and other animals get intimate with each
other, and it is too costly and dangerous to do in real life. It is just for the
ring, movies, and video games from now on. It is much less costly and
dangerous, and with your new, enhanced imagination, it is almost as
thrilling, and you can do it a lot more.

Competition: The need to compete is a mind-made desire. In the past,
people had to compete to survive; it was survival of the fittest. People
had to compete for limited resources. It also was needed for evolution,
but the times have changed, and now the opposite is true. We are at the
end of evolution, and to take the last step, we have to stop competing
with each other. Why compete with ourselves?

This is why we must become spiritual beings before our resources are
depleted again. Once they become depleted in the world, the spiritual
will not have a chance. If we see the light, it will not matter what
happens; we made it.

l\/lankind must make the change into spiritual beings while we have
enough resources for everyone. This is a very rare situation, and it
will not last long if we do not wake up and share and conserve
what we have.

Spiritual people do not compete ever, except in games. They naturally
just always do their best at whatever they are doing. They do everything
with their whole being and attention. They never do anything to beat
someone else.

Even in situations of self-defense, you do not do it to beat your
opponent. You do it just to survive, because your life is worth as much
as the life of anyone else.

In sports or business, if people win or do better than the competition,
that is good, and if they do not, that is also good. You do not need
animal aggression and greed to succeed, just love. You win by always
doing the best you can.

Best man: The best man does not win. The person that was best at
what they were doing at the time and place wins, but it will balance out.

114

www.truthcontest.com

The balance only applies to individuals, because teams, businesses and
other groups of people are not immortal living beings. If a sports team or
business loses or fails, it does not mean it will win to balance it, but the
people involved will win and lose in complete balance.

Competition is healthy and necessary in some things, such as business and
politics, but it is unhealthy in other things, such as resources and wealth.

Sports: All activities that draw people into the present, that you can do
better in the present, will become more popular. Sports are in this
category. Winning will be even more sweet in the future, but no one will
get upset when they lose.

As it is now, one team wins and one team loses, and the losing team
gets as upset as the winning team gets happy, so they cancel each
other out. Only people that live in the mind and do not see the whole
can enjoy that.

It is no big deal when it is just a game, but when it is war, fights to the
death, the loser really loses. People relate to the big winners in war
without thinking about the big losers. People think about how great it
would be to be a conquering hero. People like Napoleon must have felt
great, but the many armies and thousands of people he defeated and
killed felt very badly, and they were people too.

Winning is not everything; it is exactly half of everything.

Win, win: A spiritual being always sees both sides of everything, so
they would see a positive and a negative to counter-balance it. If no one
gets upset when they lose, it is a win-win situation, and spiritual beings
would enjoy that. All sports will become more popular when people see
the truth.

Sports can and will bring out the best in everyone when spirits
are playing.

Golf is becoming more popular, because it forces players into the
present. It is a good example of how a game can help people get into
the present. You cannot think and get a little ball in a little hole five
hundred yards away in four strokes; it is impossible. The environment,
the smell and color of all that grass also helps.

115

www.truthcontest.com

People play games because of the feeling they get, and they get that
feeling because games give them a little taste of the present. The
present Is fun to be in.

Win, win comes natural to spiritual beings, and it is the only game
we play.

Space exploration: There is nothing out there, at least nothing worth
the price of getting there. We will begin to spend that money making life
better here. When it is perfect on earth, then we may start going out in
deep space again.

People grow up watching Star Trek, and they think that going into outer
space is the way of the future. It may be, but not until after we do what
we can with life right here on earth.

All these programs about the future show how technology has
progressed, but human beings are still the same as they are now.
Technology has evolved, but mankind has not, and we have the same
problems.

In Star Trek, they had the most powerful ship in the universe, but they
had the same age-old conflicts we have always had. Kirk would have to
kick ass in a fist fight, or get physical with some good looking alien to
save the universe. In real life, the bad guy wins most of the time,
because they are often the aggressor.

Animals cannot control the power of the technology shown on Star Trek;
they would destroy themselves. The truth is, both technology and
human beings have to progress for there to be a future.

The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which
we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We
have guided missiles and misguided men. Martin Luther King Jr.

Spending billions on space is the same as spending money on physics.
Nothing that fundamentally changes mankind is going to happen, and
we need to change mankind for real progress to be made.

116

www.truthcontest.com

The only reason we will go to space in tlie future is for practical reasons,
such as putting more satellites into orbit, or to destroy or divert
dangerous asteroids, etc. People that are interested in anything farther
out will have to explore it with telescopes. If we cannot do it
inexpensively from earth, we will put it on a back burner until we solve
our down to earth problems. If there is other life out there, we will wait
for them to come to us. Hopefully they will not just find dumb animals.

Only scientists that work in the space industry really want a manned
mission to Mars. It is the next logical step, as they say. We have sent
many unmanned probes to Mars, and we know there is nothing of any
value there. They are always saying there may be life on Mars,
microbial life.

Big deal. There is more life on earth, and we should deal with the place
where we know life is first. If we do, we can be certain that there is
intelligent life on earth.

We need to discover life on earth before we go looking
anywhere else.

I like watching those shows about the universe. There are always these
scientists all excited like little kids about finding that there are volcanoes
on one of Jupiter's moons. It is interesting to people like them, but
almost no one else, and it is certainly not worth the billions of dollars we
had to spend to get there.

Going to other planets has taught us something very important. It
has taught us that it costs more than it is worth.

What are these people thinking? Millions of children are starving; would
they really rather spend the money going to Mars than feeding them?

Once we have taken care of our own poor and disadvantaged, we can
start thinking about things other than earth. The money we waste is an
outrage.

Brilliant people: The greatest waste is the brilliance of the people
working in the space program. Our best and brightest scientists and
engineers are putting their efforts into something that will hurt mankind
more than it will help it by wasting so much money and talent.

117

www.truthcontest.com

If we channeled all this money and talent into down to earth problems, it
would do more to change this world than almost anything else. These
people should re-focus their talents and energy to saving this world.

Inner space is the new frontier, not outer space. The opposite is
true again.

We should put the money into genetic and stem cell research. It will
benefit the human race much more than space travel. Genetics are the
new frontier.

Cost/benefit: All public funds for science will focus on practical down to
earth matters. More money than we spend now will go to research into
medical science, education, communication, clean and free energy
production, environmental protection, and other sciences that make life
better and more safe for everyone.

Technology: It will continue to develop to make life more safe, easier,
etc. When we wake up to the truth, we will be much more creative and
inspired, and it will translate into technologies we cannot even imagine
now. We may be able to cure cancer with the money spent to go to
Mars. We could certainly help the poor.

We will create technology that helps our biological evolution, to lengthen
our lifespan and to stop aging, illness and severe pain permanently.

We can and will do all those things with the help of genetic engineering.
We will eventually create a heaven on earth. Until we do, we will be
trying to.

The arts: There will be a renaissance in the arts like the world has

never seen, especially in music and the performing arts. Almost
everyone will express themselves artistically. Life will be seen for the
great art it actually is.

The ultimate purpose of art is to bring people into the present.

Good art forces you into the present, because it can only be seen in
the present.

Andy Warhol showed with his famous soup can picture that anything
can be art if you look at it with your total attention.

118

www.truthcontest.com

The ordinary becomes extraordinary wlien you see it in the present.
God/life is the ultimate artist. I see everything as art; a blank wall is art
in my eyes.

The defining function of the artist is to cherish consciousness.
IVlax Eastman

The art of work: When you have to think for work, you do. When you
do not, you do not. Spiritual people will work hard when they work, and
they will be known for the highest quality work and attention to detail.

Work will be necessary as long as we need shelter and need to eat.
When working, a spiritual being thinks when they have to, does not think
when they do not have to, and knows when to do each. Spiritual beings
are inspired and creative in everything they do, and they give any job
they take on one hundred percent; they become their work. They do not
do what they do for the money; they do it to help others. The money is
secondary. They don't daydream at work.

Some jobs will require more thinking than others, but spiritual beings will
do them all better than they are being done now. When you get rid of all
the negatives and live life with clarity, you become what you do, and
everything is done better.

You will still have ambitions, though they may change a bit to reflect
your new spiritual perspective. People will work pretty much as they do
now; they will just take it a little easier, be more productive, and enjoy it
a lot more. Being a nurse, policeman, or fireman are the best type of
jobs, because they force you to live in the present. You do not have to
think much, and you can help people directly.

The worst jobs can be the best: The mindless, repetitive type jobs are
the next best, because you do not have to think to do them. You can live
in the present while you work, which is a very good thing. I am into
mechanical things (hotrods), so I can tell you that you can do those
kinds of jobs better completely open to life.

People think repetitive jobs are the worst, and that is one of the reasons
they are being replaced by machines, but the opposite is the truth. They
are only bad if you do not know the truth. If you do, they are a lot of fun
and very satisfying.

119

www.truthcontest.com

Jobs where you do not have to think make it easy to become a spiritual
being, but jobs that force you to think more have their advantages, such
as making more money to give to others. Doctors are a good example
and good work.

One still works, for work is a form of entertainment. But one is
careful lest the entertainment be too harrowing. One no longer
becomes poor or rich: both require too much exertion. Who still
wants to rule? Who obey? Both require too much exertion. Anyone
that does not agree goes voluntarily into the asylum.
Friedrich Nietzsche

TV: If you do not know the truth, it is very bad for you, because it will
separate you further from the truth and the life. If you do know the truth,
it is a good thing, because when you are watching it, you are not
thinking, so it gets you comfortable living without thinking. It also informs
and educates you if you watch the right programs. Just watch life like
you watch TV, without thinking about it.

If you know the truth, watching TV becomes a modern form
of meditation.

When you watch the History Channel, realize that you were there, and
history will take on a new dimension. We can finally really know our true
past.

When you watch the animal channel, realize you were those animals at
some time. Put yourself in their skin, and realize that it was you at one
time. It is very good for you to get in touch with your true past. Watch
the news and be those people.

We have lived everywhere on earth as every species in our evolutionary
line at least once. We have done it all, and that is why we are now ready
to leave the animal realm. We only began to be able to see our past in
the last generation.

TV and movies show you how brutal and savage the past was, and
once you realize that you can leave it forever, you will want to. In the
past, people could not actually see the way it was in the past; all they
knew were myths.

Scary movies are a safe way to experience the horrible violence of
real life.

120

www.truthcontest.com

People think that all the violence on TV is a bad thing. The opposite is
true If you know the truth. The violence and drama on TV gives people a
safe release of our violent, instinctive natures. Violence in movies and
TV do the opposite of what people think, and they reduce the amount of
violence in real life.

If you know the truth, it allows you to be shocked and to vicariously
experience events and behaviors that are too dangerous to experience
in real life. Seeing the violence of the animal world is necessary to stay
in touch with our past. It motivates us to get out of the animal realm
while we can.

If you watch reality shows like "The Real Housewives of Orange
County", and flip to "American Justice", or other shows that show crimes
and victims, you can see the top and bottom of modern human life. You
can see how good and how bad it can get. It is good to do, and we are
lucky we can see how people really live.

The rich people in Orange County think that they are never going to be
a big loser or victim, but they will be. If not in this life, they will be in the
next. What goes around comes around. They will be the victims seen on
the crime shows.

TV also shows you the nonsense and great things created by the mind.
As your real life begins to reveal itself, real life will keep getting better
until you naturally stop watching TV much. Until then, watch as much
TV as you want; it will not hurt you as long as you know the truth. You
will stop when your real life is truly better.

Sleep: There is a time to leave true life, to rest from life, to be semi-
unconscious.

During sleep, your mind is not turned off. In fact, it is blocking your life
senses almost completely. It makes you semi-unconscious in order to
do maintenance on itself and other parts of your brain and body.

When you begin to know the ultimate truth, you will sleep a lot more.
You sleep more at first because your mind will need more sleep to
reprogram itself to become the mind of a spiritual being.

Mind/brain: New knowledge actually changes you physically. Memories
and other aspects of your mind are created and saved bio-chemically in
your brain.

Knowledge causes your brain to change, making you change
physically.

As you read this book, the physical make-up of your brain is actually
changing; thus, your environment is changing. You are becoming a little
different physically. Anything you learn changes your brain chemically a
little bit. The more time you spend with something, or the more impact
something has on you, the more you are changed. Your brain is actually
changing physically right now.

Knowledge can physically change you into a new species, a new
life form.

During sleep, your mind locks in the new information or experience in
your brain and the collective unconscious. That is why new knowledge
and experiences can change your life permanently. A spiritual being's
brain discards most things the animal mind would hang onto, the
negative baggage. The spiritual mind gets the bats out of the belfry, so
to speak. You live with a totally clear and open mind. The mind is like a
weight in a submarine, and when you let it go, you rise.

During sleep you are also better connected to the collective
unconscious. This is why creative people say they keep a writing pad by
their bed side. It is because they often wake up with their best, most
inspired ideas.

One should guard against preaching to young people success in
the customary form as the main aim in life. Albert Einstein

Education: Schools will start telling the truth. The truth will be the most
important thing to learn regarding any subject, especially life. History
class will tell the story from both sides. There will be classes in the
ultimate truth, and the art of living alone and with others, etc.

Jesus said, "We should raise our children in love and the truth."

122

Show actual case histories of how various lifestyles affect life in the
future. These will be shown to kids in elementary school, so they will be
able to change before they get set in their ways. Only show true stories;
document people's lives from beginning to end, and show their
complete history to kids, so they can choose which life they want to live,
if any. Show the true consequences of certain behaviors. Kids would not
get into drugs and gangs if they knew what it would cost them in the
long run.

They would not think the tough guys were cool if they were shown that it
leads to poverty and jail. Show kids what "The Fonz" looks like at thirty.
He will not look so cool living in poverty with a beer belly.

I realize that this is a generalization, but you tell kids that it is. You just
tell them that most of the people that are cool in school become very
uncool later in life, and people that are uncool and get good grades
become the cool or popular people later in life, when it matters more. It
usually matters more to be cool later in life, because you may have a
family to support. With the truth, kids can be cool in school and be cool
later in life.

Jesus said, "Raise your children in Love and Truth. Cover them
with Love and show them the Way of Life through your godly
example, so that they will not have cause to depart from it."

Violence is the last refuge of a lowlife.

Bullies: Kids from first grade up will be given a phone number and e-
mail address where they can anonymously report bullies and other bad
behavior, and they will be encouraged to use it. Someone will be
available to respond to and deal with all complaints. The age of the
tough guy is over. They ran the world for millions of years, but now their
time is over, and they will be the biggest losers if they do not change.
Bullies will be dealt with harshly and removed from the school if they do
not change their ways. These tough guys are not so tough when
they meet the police, are they? They always end up meeting them.

Kids should not have to endure bullies and other animal behavior when
in school. Good citizenship will be rewarded; bad citizenship will not be
tolerated. Bullying can ruin a kid for life if they do not know the truth.
Kids that know the truth will know that bullies = idiots. They are farts in
the wind and will pass.

123

www.truthcontest.com

Kids need to be taught that someone who says something
negative about you is really saying something negative about
themselves.

Kids need to learn how to not let the beast bring them down to that
level. People bully other people just to get attention and feel powerful. If
we teach them the truth and the life, they will have the attention and
power of the universe, so they will not become bullies. This is one of the
reasons kids have to learn the truth.

Cameras and microphones will be everywhere except toilet stalls.
Parents will be able to access these cameras over the Internet, so that
they can check on their children anytime they want. This will give
parents peace of mind and the ability to help their kids more. Kids do
not need privacy; they need control and guidance.

The cameras will make kids be on their best behavior, because they
never know who is watching. Full-time implied parental surveillance will
do more for schools than anything else, and cameras will be one of the
best investments we can make. We have to stop kids from taking on the
animal pack mentality, power games, and social behavior that they
currently do in school environments. We need schools to do the
opposite in these critical formative years. Cameras will be the key.

Change the world: Have old people come into the schools and tell kids
what happened to them and why. All we have to do is show (not just tell)
kids the real truth to change the world. It would give old people
something important to do.

This will give people at the end of their life the chance to pass on what
they have learned and what they would do different. It will be great for
old people and great for the kids. The best education is real life and
older people passing on the truth.

Technical and vocational training for work and how to find and apply for
jobs will be mandatory, so everyone can make a middle class living at
the very least right out of high school. They should offer what they are
now offering in private trade schools in public schools. Show kids that
middle class is the way to go.

Teach kids that being in the middle class is the best place to be.

124

www.truthcontest.com

Good investment: Trade schools should be paid for by the government

and be available for free to anyone, even adults. It would be a good
investment for the government, because people will make more money
and pay more taxes.

High school kids should have real world classes and actually work with a
professional and get real experience to see if they really want to do the trade.
The schools should also be an employment agency, so that everyone has the
choice of a good job or college right out of high school. Have competitions in
practical skills that you can use to make a living. Schools will actually buy and
run some small businesses, such as a Burger King, so that students can
actually run them and learn about running them and what it is really like.
Money made from these businesses will go to supporting the school system.

Equality in sports: Only sports in which size does not matter should be
in public schools. Games like soccer, not football and basketball, unless
they are divided into different leagues by age and size. Equality and a
fair playing field in sports will be mandatory. Right now, only the biggest
kids get into the major sports supported by everyone's tax dollars, and
that is not right. Smaller kids are being discriminated against. This
causes inferiority complexes and lots of trouble later.

If a school wants to continue playing and supporting sports such as football
and basketball, they will have to have a separate league for kids less than six
feet tall and less than two hundred pounds. This league will have to have
equal support and promotion, or those sports will be replaced by others.

There should be classes in managing money, taxes, marriage, having
kids and divorce with actual case histories. Kids have to know how
serious marriage is before they fall in love and go off the deep end.

IVIost important: The most important thing we can teach our children is
that they are immortal spiritual beings. We have to tell them that they
will die physically no matter what they do, so the life in their current
bodies is not everything, not even a very big part of everything. We
have to prepare them for the long run, not just the short time they are in
their current bodies.

We will teach and compare all the major religions no later than middle

school, so kids can decide for themselves which, if any, religion they
want to get involved in. We will not turn children into the walking dead
as we are now. Education will concentrate more on the practical science
and art of living.

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Albert Einstein

Education will be free and available to everyone through college as long
as they have average grades or better. The best schools will be for
people that study the hardest, get the best grades in academics and
volunteer service and citizenship, not for those with the most money.

Eight-hundred million people cannot read or write. That is about
one out of every six people in the human race. This hurts
everyone.

Inspired kids: The schools will be run the same and everyone will be
treated the same, but the kids will not be the same and will be
encouraged to be unique and different. Originality will be encouraged,
rewarded. We need inspired thinkers.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in
higher regard those who think alike than those who think
differently. Friedrich Nietzsche

High school: It is a semi-tragedy for most kids now. Instead of being
the best time of life, the beautiful physical and mental transition from
child to adult, it is a trauma and a form of post-traumatic stress disorder
that ruins the rest of a person's life. This unnecessary waste and
tragedy will be changed with the knowledge of the ultimate truth.

Puberty: The time when the most powerful physical/biological changes
happen and the sexes are put together is no time to not pay attention.
Peer pressure, sexual attraction, rejection, and facing adulthood is the
perfect storm for people, and we are just letting it destroy many. A real
education is impossible the way it is now. Ignorance of the truth
squanders what could be the most fulfilling spiritual and physical time of
life. It creates mind problems that go so deep that they are almost
impossible to overcome. The way it is now, is the worst way to prepare
young people for the future. It can be changed, so it must be
changed now.

The ultimate truth will make the education system be all it can be.

"The Present - Insights"

Crime and Law

Criminal justice: There will be no death penalty. The truth is, we are all
on a death row. Being born carries the death penalty. Killing people a
little sooner for killing someone else is not an effective deterrent, and it
does not reduce the amount of murders. It just makes us murderers. It
actually hurts the people doing the executing worse than it hurts the
person being executed. People that condone killing for any reason other
than true self-defense are lowering themselves to the animal level, and
that includes all of society.

Do not hate criminals. Hate what they do and begin to show them
the light.

Prisons will be safe and comfortable. Convicts will live alone and not be
allowed to interact with other prisoners except in structured settings,
such as jobs, school, church, etc. When convicts are allowed to mix with
each other in an uncontrolled environment, such as prison yards, it
creates worse animals, so it will not be allowed to happen in the future.
In the United States, over 50% of all inmates commit new crimes and
return to prison. This tells us that the current system is not working and
is a waste of money. It needs to be changed so that it does work.

Punishment: The deterrent value of punishment has been proven to be
ineffective, so prisoners will be treated well. They will all have big
screen, high- definition TVs in their private cell or room as long as they
behave, learn a trade, do a job, and take self-improvement classes.

The TV will be built into the wall, and it will have special programming that
will help change animals into spiritual beings. The programs will be
entertaining, but designed to re-educate people over a period of time. The
TVs will not be in the prisoner's control. The programs will show convicts
what really happens to the victims and family of the victims of crime, so they
will learn the true cost of their lifestyles. At least half of the TV programs will
be to teach convicts a trade, improve their impulse control, teach them the
ultimate truth, etc. If convicts do really well, they can earn better food,
access to other TV programming and other benefits. Just controlling the TV
and food, if done properly, will control most prisoners and motivate them to
do the right thing and change their ways.

127

www.truthcontest.com

The cells or rooms will be built so there is nowhere to hide anything. All
surfaces will be smooth and connected, so that they cannot be moved.
The material will be a plastic that will be indestructible, easy to clean,
and soft enough, so that it will be almost impossible for inmates to hurt
themselves or staff. They will be allowed only a few possessions. The
space will be to sleep, watch TV, eat, clean themselves, urinate and
defecate, nothing else. Food will be delivered to them through a secure
opening. The inmate will be nal<ed except for one pair of a one-piece
bathing suit, lil<e shorts. They will be comfortable and not tear. A shower
system will wash and dry them and the whole cell automatically, and
everything will go down a special drain that cannot be plugged, because
they will have nothing to plug it with, not even toilet paper. Their butts
will be washed. The environment will have one purpose, and that is total
control, safety, comfort, and isolation. Cameras will monitor and record
them twenty four hours and seven days a week. The goal is to change
them and free them as soon as possible.

All communication with the outside world will be reduced to one short
verbal recording or conversation a week. This will make it easier to
control contraband and outside influences. The inmate will have no way
to cause the staff any trouble. They will use gas to medicate or render
the inmate unconscious if necessary. The temperature, lighting, food,
medication and TV will be to make the inmate comfortable and educate
and change them safely and effectively.

It may sound severe, but crime is severe, and it justifies doing what has
to be done to stop it. What is described above will be the least
expensive and most effective way to do it. We have to show that crime
will not be tolerated.

A prison operates on the merit system. We will do everything to change
them for the better, and nothing to make them worse. Some will have
untreatable mental defects and will never change and never get out, but
most will be able to change their ways and get out in a much shorter
period of time than now.

Prisons will exist to separate criminals from the public, each other, and
most of the staff for as long as it is necessary. Inmates will
communicate with staff, medical personnel, teachers, etc., through the
TV via closed-circuit sound and video. Everything will be recorded to be
analyzed by medical and behavior specialists.

128

www.truthcontest.com

Criminals will be confined for the same reason that we confine other
dangerous animals in a zoo. Cameras will be everywhere and record
everything that happens; there will be no privacy. We will use
tranquilizer darts to knockout dangerous criminals, just like dangerous
animals.

Tracking system: For non-violent crimes, people will have the option to
wear a tracking device that will monitor their every move outside of
prison. The tracking devices could be a small, rechargeable, locked-on
ankle bracelet that will transmit a signal every minute to the cellular
phone towers and communicate with a computer. The device will give a
GPS location every minute, and it will alert the police when a convict is
in the wrong places or with the wrong people (other people with
bracelets), not at work, in bars, etc. If a convict gets within ten feet of
the forbidden people or places, the closest policeman is automatically
notified, so they can be arrested. If the tracking device is cut off or not
recharged, the police will know in one minute and be able to surround
their last location and arrest them. The technology for the tracking
system is available now and will cut the prison population at least in
half. This will save billions of dollars and allow non-violent offenders to
live a normal, productive, tax-paying life.

Gangs: Gangs are currently the biggest problem in our criminal justice
system, and they are different from other criminals. No one wants to live
the life of an outlaw, as an animal, if they have a better option. If we give
it to them, we can prevent thousands of kids from becoming criminals,
and we can turn gang members into productive, tax-paying citizens and
family men.

Respect: They are always saying they want respect. They use violence
to intimidate people to get respect. That is the same kind of respect a
rattlesnake gets. It is not the kind of respect a real man wants, but they
see no other way.

Kids get into street gangs because they do not see any better options.
We just need to give them something really better to do. Things will not
change until we do. It will cost us less in the long run if we do the right
thing now. Cities build community centers with a bunch of ping-pong
tables and think that it will make a difference; it does not. We have to
give kids a completely new, fulfilling life.

129

www.truthcontest.com

People that have committed crimes as a result of being in street gangs
can be rehabilitated fast. When prisons are changed to do what they
should be doing, gang criminals can turn their lives around in a very
short period of time.

We should give all gang members in prisons the option to get out
if they join the army and fight America's enemies. They are
fighters. It would solve our military recruitment problem and our
prison overcrowding problem.

The choice will be the army or jail. If they cannot follow military rules,
they go back to prison. I am sure many will be motivated to change their
ways just to get out of a long prison sentence. If it is four years in the
army or ten years in jail, many will be motivated to join the army. It
would be good for the army, and good for the people. When they get
out, they could start a new, productive life.

Psychopaths, sociopaths, serial killers, child molesters, rapists, violent
racists, repeat offenders, and others that continually and intentionally
hurt innocent people may have to be imprisoned for their whole life, but
most gang members do not have to be. They truly can be rehabilitated
as long as we offer them something really better. This will cut our prison
population at least in half again.

Most gang members have a code of ethics and are loyal to other
members of their gang. They only hurt other gang members or threats
to their gangs. They see themselves as soldiers, and they are in a
sense. Let's make them real ones.

The truth is, society is responsible for the development of gangs. We
created the problem, so it is our responsibility to fix it. We should give
every gang member a second chance, even gang members that kill
other gang members.

Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Everyone will be forgiven for what they did before the truth was
revealed, if they change when they learn the truth. There are no bad
guys, just people that do not know the truth, people that have been
misguided. Once gang members get a chance and a better way to go,
they will change, and they will be no danger to society. We turn a
negative into a positive.

www.truthcontest.com

Guaranteed Jobs: The way it is now, criminals are just released out

into society, and because of tlieir past, they cannot get a good job. This
results in frustration and often a return to crime and prison. We not only
need to teach criminals a trade that will allow them to make a good
living in the outside world, we need to give them a good job when they
get out. The state needs to own companies that will give paroled
prisoners the job they have been trained in prison to do. This will
change criminals into self-supporting, productive citizens. It is one of the
most important missing links in the rehabilitation process.

These businesses will have more security than normal businesses.
They will be set up to deal with a work force made up of
previous convicts.

The management will be past prisoners, and they will be able to help
and keep an eye on new people that are released. All paroled people
will also be required to wear the tracking device. This will make it much
safer for society, and it will turn criminals into productive citizens.

Restitution: Paroled people will have to work at these special work
places until they have paid restitution that the court sets to their victims.

Fear of punishment will not change things, and we now know that for
certain. It can even make it worse with our current prison system. Many
people are coming out of prison worse than when they went in. People
are victimized when we put them in uncontrolled situations with other
prisoners. The prison yard is a machine that makes brutal animals. They
do not benefit the prisoners or society. Throwing people that commit
minor crimes in with murderers and other hardened criminals puts them
in great jeopardy, turning them into animals just to survive. Many people
had to murder in prison to stop someone from killing or raping them or
subjecting them to some other abuse. The current system creates
murderers. What would you do? What we are doing to people is
criminal. We are the murderers, because we created a situation where
people are forced to murder to survive.

The drug business: It is the drug business that causes most of the
trouble in prison, so we just let them earn the drugs they want. We
make sure they cannot hurt themselves or others, and we let them
destroy their life in their cell if that is what they want. This will stop the
prison drug black market that causes most of the violence and abuse
in prisons.

131

www.truthcontest.com

However, their sentence will not even start until they are clean from
drugs for one year. This will motivate them to stop or to not do drugs. If
they choose to keep doing drugs, they never get out. They also have to
learn a trade before they get out, and when they get out, pay restitution
to their victims or have to come back.

They will not want to use drugs if using them prevents them from being
released, and we educate them about drugs and help them get off them.
If we give them another, better way to go, it will save many lives and
billions of dollars, so we have to. We make drugs so cheap that it puts
the crooks out of business.

Free to hurt yourself: Everyone, in or out of prison, should have the
right to ruin their lives with drugs if they want to. Once people know the
truth about drugs and are shown a better way, most will not do them.
Those that still want to should be allowed to legally, as long as they are
prevented from hurting others. Trying to stop drugs is not possible, and
it causes too many problems.

If we are going to outlaw drugs, we have to outlaw alcohol and
cigarettes also. If people are not going to be allowed to hurt themselves,
we have to do it across the board. Making conflicting rules is one of the
reasons people do not have respect for the law. If a law is not
consistent, it must be abolished.

We live in a country where torture is legal and marijuana is illegal.
Bill Maher

Black markets: When people wake up, drugs will be legalized. They
will be taxed just like cigarettes and alcohol. Some of this new tax
money will be spent on education, rehabilitation clinics, and the prison
system. Why not let the problem pay to stop the problem? Outlawing
drugs has just created a black market and violent gangs. It puts billions
of dollars into the pockets of a criminal underworld. It supports many
people that hurt many people.

Black markets feed the beast and make it much stronger.

132

www.truthcontest.com

The same thing happened when alcohol was outlawed in the twenties. It
created a black market and gangsters, and we had to legalize it just to
stop all the gang violence. We need to legalize street drugs for the
same reasons. The gang problem is much worse now than it was in the
time of Al Capone, and a lot more people are being killed. We are just
wasting billions of dollars and wasting peoples lives. Making drugs
illegal is a good idea that just does not work.

Drugs do not cause violence. Getting illegal, expensive drugs
causes it.

Drugs do not cause violence. Alcohol makes people more violent than
any illegal drug. Alcohol kills more people than guns, but it is legal.
When a law is causing more problems than what it is outlawing,
intelligent beings change it before it causes more damage. Good
intentions do not always work; this must be seen.

We could be putting a huge amount of money to better use. The money
now spent to convict and jail people for drug offenses could be spent on
education and rehabilitation for people that get addicted to drugs.

Forbidden fruit: When you try to deny people something, you activate
a very bad part of human nature. Some people, especially teenagers,
always want what they are denied; it just makes them want it more.
Many people are tempted and will always want the proverbial forbidden
fruit. This part of our human nature is shown in the first book of the
Bible. It tells us that forbidden fruit caused the downfall of mankind, and
it is doing it in reality. It shows how great the problem is, and the only
way to solve it is to remove all forbidden fruit that does not hurt
other people.

We are saying that drugs make life better: When we outlaw drugs,
we are indirectly saying that drugs are better than normal life. We are
saying that everyone would do them if not for the laws. It gives the
opposite message than what people think it is giving, but no one sees
this truth. If doing drugs was really better, no one would be going to
expensive rehab centers to get off them, would they? This fact proves
drugs really do not make life better, and this needs to be pointed out to
kids before they get addicted to them.

133

www.truthcontest.com

The best cure for drug addiction is education and giving people
sometliing tliat feels better than drugs can make them feel. The only
thing that will do it is the ultimate truth and the complete fulfillment that
follows. The truth will stop drugs. We just have to ask kids: why don't
most doctors and policemen do drugs? If drugs were really a good
thing, most doctors and cops would be using them, because they can
get them easily. The reason they do not is that they know that drugs
really are not a good thing. Doctors and cops see how drugs lead to
tragedy; all we have to do is show everyone what doctors and cops see.

If you give people everything they want, along with the truth, they will
always do the right thing. The opposite of what people think will happen,
will happen. If kids were shown the truth about drugs in elementary
school, not just BS, no one would get into drugs, because the truth is,
drugs ruin your life. No one will do anything that will hurt them once they
are sure it will. We feed kids so much BS that kids think that when we
say drugs are bad for you, that it is also BS.

Choice: The truth is, we should legalize everything that does not hurt
other people, and let people make up their own minds about how they
want to live. The law should only be to protect people from other people,
not to protect them from themselves, because the truth is, nothing can
do that.

What the world needs now is less laws and more truth.

People should be free to choose what they want to do with their own
lives. People are not stupid, and they do not need other people to
decide what is good for them. Those kinds of laws are wrong,
impossible to enforce, and they create a dangerous and costly black
market. The only way to stop people from doing one behavior is to give
them something better to replace it with. If we give people the truth and
the life, it will stop drugs, crime, and all self-destructive behavior.

The bottom line: Everything should be legalized that does not hurt
others, but all advertising and other things that promote them should be
banned also. Instead, commercials will show people the truth and
educate people on the dangers of certain products. People are smart
and will respond to the truth and always do the right thing, but only
when they know for certain what the right thing is.

The people that are for keeping drugs illegal appear to be the good,
moral people, the good guys, and it gets them elected, but the opposite
is true. They are actually the most responsible for all the drug
related murders and violence that stem from illegal drugs.

Making drugs illegal seems like a good idea and that it would help
society, but in reality, nothing is hurting society more. What is worse:
thousands of kids murdered, millions of lives ruined, wasting billions of
dollars, or legal drugs? Wake up people.

Being for legalizing drugs does not mean you are for people using
drugs. You will be against the use of drugs and support education
about them.

The cost of blindness to the truth: It is just like the current war in the
Middle East. It looked like a good idea to try to stop terrorism, so it was
a good political move, and most politicians promoted it for that reason.
The truth is that it has made the threat of terrorism worse and has cost
thousands of our best young people their lives and the lives of hundreds
of thousands of innocent people, including women and children, in the
Middle East. It has also wasted over six trillion dollars, and continues to
cost us four-hundred million dollars a day. The worst cost is the damage
to America's image in the rest of the world.

Vietnam was even worse. It cost us over fifty-eight thousand American
lives, and we killed over three million people in Vietnam, at least a
million innocent women and children, for absolutely nothing.

Losing face: Once we commit to one of these epic disasters, we have
problems getting out of them, because people do not want to admit they
made a mistake that wasted all those lives and money. It is why it took
us more than ten years to get out of Vietnam and why we are now
having trouble getting out of conflicts in the Middle East.

It is the same reason we do not legalize drugs, and it has cost
many more lives than war, much more money, and it is literally
destroying our society.

The sale of opium is giving regimes in the Middle East billions of
dollars they use to kill American soldiers with. If we legalize drugs,
it will stop it.

When spiritual beings make a mistal<e, even a big one, they change it
the minute they become aware of it. There is nothing wrong with mailing
a mistal<e, as long as you fix it as soon as you know it is a mistake.
What makes a mistake a disaster is when people do not fix a mistake,
especially when people are being killed and major damage is occurring.

Everyone will be forgiven for the past.

We need a strong military: Don't get me wrong; we have to fight fools
and fanatics, and we need to have the strongest possible military until
the world is educated. We are not out of the woods yet.

Some will be lost: When we legalize drugs, some people will misuse
them just as they do alcohol, but the problems will be a fraction of the
problems caused by continuing to do what we are doing. There will still
be street gangs, but they will not be as big or dangerous as now.

Now we will have the ultimate truth, so the problem of people abusing drugs
and alcohol will be much less than it has been. People that repetitively drive
under the influence or do other things that endanger other people will need
to be confined. We should just put the people that choose to be loaded all
the time together in a controlled situation, so they cannot hurt other people
or themselves more.

We could create camps for these lost souls that are comfortable and not
like prisons, but they are controlled, and the people that choose this
lifestyle will not be allowed to hurt other people. It will let them be with
each other and have one big, never-ending, semi-safe party. It will not
be punishment; it will be the biggest and best party in history, and many
people will go there voluntarily, but most people will get enough of it,
see the light, go out, join the human race, and get involved in the
ultimate party of true life.

If you give people true freedom and what they think they want, they
will find they do not really want drugs, alcohol and other self
destructive vices, get educated, get over it, and be ready for
something better.

Gambling: Gambling is the same as drugs, but a little different. It
should be legal for the same reason. When people learn the truth that
tells them they cannot win if they gamble a long time, it will not stop it or
make it less popular. It will do the opposite and make it more popular,
because people will do it in moderation. Las Vegas and other resorts
help bring you in the present and will get more popular. However, you
do not want to get your fun for free or make money; you want to pay for
what you got. People have to stay in balance, or they will fall.

When people do things in truth, they do them right and
everyone wins.

Crime: We will still need police and the justice system until all people
begin to live in the truth and the life. There will still be violence, crime,
and other anti-social, stupid behaviors until less evolved people wake
up, and they will have to be controlled until they can be educated in the
truth and the life. We will need police, but a lot less of them if we
legalize drugs and other vices.

Technology will eventually stop most crime.

Tracking devices, security cameras, and other things, such as reliable
lie detectors, will make it very hard to get away with any crime. This will
need to be done until everyone knows the truth. The best solution is for
mankind to become spiritual beings, because there will be no need for
laws of any kind.

Forgiveness/compassion: Spiritual people do not hurt people, even if
they are hurt by them. There will be no more "eye for an eye." It just
blinds everyone. God/life creates perfect justice. It does not need us to
punish people or take revenge. People should see everyone in prison
as if they were a brother. If we did, we would do the things I
recommend. We have to do what the truth dictates.

Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
Friedrich Nietzsche

You have the choice of behaving like an animal or a spiritual being. If
someone else acts like an animal, it does not mean it has to drag you
down to their level.

The Bible says that vengeance is for God, not us.

Violence is the only way some people can experience intimacy.

Intimacy: One of the reasons some people do violence to others is to
create intimacy between them and their victim. The problem is, some
people are so mentally screwed up that it is the only way they can get it.
We have to show them a better way, show them how get intimacy
without hurting others.

Violence brings people into the present, but there is a better way to
do it.

There is good intimacy and bad intimacy. Violence is bad intimacy; making
love is good intimacy. Intimacy with life itself is the ultimate intimacy.

A person that knows the ultimate truth has intimacy with God/life.

People cannot really enjoy intimacy without knowing the truth. It opens
people up, and that is what makes intimacy, intimacy. People that live in
the mind never experience true intimacy. Even violence just gives
people a taste of the present. Making other people feel good is good
intimacy; making other people feel bad is bad intimacy. Only animals
that do not know the truth are into bad intimacy.

The truth = intimacy.

When someone does something horrible to someone, people always
ask, why? No one ever gives them the simple answer, because it is too
ugly, and they think others will do it. Some crimes are committed to get
money, but the worst criminals do what they do simply because they like
to. It turns them on; it makes them feel powerful and in control, and it
gets them the undivided attention of their victims.

The primitive mind: Criminals experience the same feelings as an
animal predator when they attack and hurt people. We were animal
predators for most of our evolution on earth, so it is a very powerful
instinct and feels very good. This is why it is so powerful and
dangerous. Only the truth and life feels better. When you know the truth,
you can make these violent instincts work for you. Whenever they arise,
you use them as a cue to become more aware of the truth and the life. If
you do this, you turn a very bad thing into a very good thing.

138

It is sad that just because people do not know the truth, they will destroy
another person's life and their own just to get a little attention from their
victims and a taste of the present. It is a tragic and unnecessary waste
of life. It shows how valuable the present is. People will do very difficult,
costly and horrible things to themselves and others just to get a little
taste of it. When people learn they can get everything they want for
free, without hurting others and with no consequences, people will
change, and so will our world. People will always do what feels best.

Never feel like it: Spiritual people do not commit crimes, not because
of fear of punishment or for rewards for being good, not even because it
is right or wrong, but just because they never feel like it. Helping people
turns them on.

If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for
reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. Albert Einstein

It is not in a spiritual person's nature to hurt others or be unfair in
anyway. Spiritual people enjoy helping other people, not hurting them.
There will be situations, such as self-defense, when violence will be
unavoidable, but never for pleasure, profit, revenge or to punish people.
That is what animals do.

Without the real truth, there is no real morality, no real right
and wrong.

Consequences: There are huge consequences to violent animal behavior.

Criminals now think, "look what my victim is going through and
they did not do anything to deserve it, so deserve must not have
anything to do with bad things happening," and they are correct.

When you know the truth, you know if you act like an animal after your
know the ultimate truth, you go to the bottom of the food chain. There is
no greater consequence; thus, the truth is the best deterrent to
animal behavior.

In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy, but in passing
it over, he is superior. Sir Francis Bacon

www.truthcontest.com

No fault: It can be said that no one is responsible for the crimes they
commit, and it would be true if they do not know the truth, but this does
not mean we should let them go. We have to protect ourselves. We are
just as important as anyone else. Thus, criminals will be incarcerated
when they commit crimes, regardless of fault. We can stop spending so
much money trying to show how criminals were abused in the past to
use it as a defense. There is no defense; if you commit a crime, you go
to jail. It is that simple. Going into a criminal's past is not only a waste of
money, it gives them publicity and attention that some actually want. We
should not give them anything that can reward or motivate crimes.

Eye for an eye: Spiritual people will set the example to the animals of
the world. We do not act like animals just because they do; we change
them by not letting them change us. We do not blind them more; we
give them our vision.

If you purposely treat others badly, you are acting like an animal, not a
spiritual being. We are as interested in the welfare of others as much as
we are interested in our own welfare, because we know that we are all
essentially the same.

Jesus said, "Do unto others as you would want others to do
unto you."

Jesus actually said, "You will do unto others as you would want
others to do unto you." This is because you will know better.

It seems like a small difference, but it actually is a very big difference. A
spiritual being "will" treat others exactly as they would treat themselves,
because you will see others as if you were them. You will, because you
spiritually are them.

You would not hit someone else with a hammer for the same
reason you would not hit yourself with a hammer.

It seems inconceivable unless you see true life. When you see true life,
you actually see others as yourself, and you would never intentionally
hurt yourself. You see yourself in all other people; you see past their
temporary devil/mind.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings,
and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an
impartial eye. Buddha

See the truth: With the truth, you see all people older than you as if

they were your father and mother, all people younger than you as your
children, and people the same age as you as brothers and sisters. The
truth is, we are all related.

We were like them: You always treat others as you would want to be
treated. We were like them in the past. You would not have to go back
too far in your own evolution to get to where you were a violent animal.
Today's criminals will evolve past it as we did, and the better we treat
them, the faster they will do it. As Jesus taught, you forgive everyone,
because animals cannot be blamed for behaving like animals. All we
should do is separate them from us and try to change them.

Spiritual people do not defile the present with what happened in
the past.

We do not think of revenge. Animals that harm others will be confined
until they change and it is safe to let them out. If they never change,
they never get out. Habitual criminals and people that have done very
bad things, such as child molestation or murder, and people that have a
good chance that they will do it again, will never get out. Society cannot
be asked to take the chance. People forfeit the rest of their lifespan for
some crimes and repeated offenses. People that are never getting out
can be allowed to socialize with others like themselves, because it will
not matter, and it would not be humane to keep them from socializing a
bit. We isolate only people that are going to get out.

Some animals are not ready to evolve further and cannot be changed,
so they have to be separated from civilized society for life. We build as
many prisons as we need to, and we make them work, no matter the
cost, because it will be less expensive than dealing with criminals out in
society. People that kill for animal reasons are too dangerous. It costs
them their freedom for life, not to punish or even for its deterrent value,
but for the public's safety only. This should be the rule, except for gang
killings and very young killers, etc.

The reason for all crime is that people do not know the truth.

All people see is BS and no truth. It is no wonder people act as they do.
Once we show them the truth, most will change, and so will the world. It is
that simple.

"The Present - Insights"

America Must Lead

The great Satan: America needs to be seen as the good guy once
again, because we really are the good guys; we have just been living
too much in our heads, and we have gotten lost.

Have it all: America now is the most materialistic and least spiritual
country in the world. When Americans learn the ultimate truth, they will
become the most spiritual country almost over night. We will have it all,
material and spiritual, and we will be in a position to give it all to the rest
of the world, and we will. Once we start being who we really are, we
will not have any problems, only solutions.

We are the leaders of the world. We have to start leading in the right
direction. People in the world are looking at us and wondering if we are
the great Satan as some people are saying, or if we are an angel that
will save the world. It is time to show them the truth. We are an angel
that is going to save everyone we can.

Help ourselves: Before we help the rest of the world, we have to help our
own country. We must concentrate our resources on straightening out our
own country first to build a model for the rest of the world to see and follow.

First, help yourself spiritually, then America, then all of the world.

If the people of the world see us doing the right thing and how it is benefiting
us, they will want to be like us. They will see what we do, because worldwide
communication will make that possible. We just have to make sure the
leaders of their country are not stopping the truth from getting to them.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be
depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to
bring them the real facts. Abraham Lincoln

The news lately has focused on Mexicans illegally coming across our
southern borders and using our education and medical system. We do not
like that, so we are planning to build a big, expensive wall to try and stop

them and do all sorts of things to make their pitiful lives even worse than
they are. It will not work, and in the long run, it will cost us more than
helping them. Doesn't the Statue of Liberty invite everyone to come here?

It says, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the
homeless, tempest-tossed, to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

142

www.truthcontest.com

We should remove the invitation and statue if people are no longer
welcome. Instead of seeing how we can make those poor peoples' lives
worse, shouldn't we do the opposite and see how we can make their lives
better? The problem is that their country is so corrupt and disorganized that
they cannot live a decent life there. That is the real problem. We should
either help them change things in their country, or let them come to ours.

Everyone should go to downtown Tijuana and then go to downtown San
Diego a few miles away. You will see one of the worst places and one
the best places on earth. It is an outrage. Mexico could be a beautiful
place. The weather is better than it is here, and the cost of living is
much lower. If the place were not so corrupt, they would have to build a
fence to stop Americans from going south.

We have to learn that the better other people do, the better we do.

We want everyone in the world to do better and make more money, because
it will come back to us. Half of the human race is very poor and lives on less
than two dollars a day. If we just doubled that, they would have double the
money to spend. They would live better, and they would spend double the
money they are now spending, doubling the value of the economy of half the
world. Prosperity will create prosperity, if we wake up to the truth.

Work creates something out of nothing. If you build a house, you
have a house where you did not before. Making things better,
makes them better.

That work benefits the people the work is done for, the people doing the
work, and generates more money and more work. Work makes things
better, which is why the work is done in the first place, to fix something
or make it better. You cannot get too many workers; it is a delusion.

A rising tide lifts all boats. John F. Kennedy

The government's job will be to keep everyone productive. They will
help create enough good jobs to keep everyone busy and earning
enough money to live well.

Whenever people do more work, things always start getting better.

Poverty/ignorance/corruption: Because of poverty, ignorance and
corruption in the third world, the rich are getting richer, the poor are
getting poorer, and this will doom the human race, rich and poor alike.

The truth is, all people can be treated fairly, and spiritual people
would do it.

Green Energy and Tech

We have a gigantic nuclear reactor in the sky.
There is no energy shortage.

Why are we spending at least a fourth of every dollar we make directly
and indirectly on energy when we can have it for free?

Are we stupid or what?

Solar towers: This new type of solar generating station uses air heated
by the sun to generate electricity. If we build six-hundred and twenty
solar towers, they will supply all of our country's power needs. They will
cost about seven-hundred million dollars each.

We are currently spending four-hundred million dollars a day on the war.
We could pay for a solar tower every two days with what we are
spending on the war. We are getting nothing from the war, except for a
lot of dead people. If we spent it on the towers or solar cells, we would
have a source of almost free, clean power.

Once the towers are built, they cost almost nothing to operate, so we
will get the money we spent back and get all our energy needs from
then on almost free. In addition, we would be putting all the money
spent on building them back into our economy.

If we used rechargeable, electric powered cars, we could use the sun's
power to replace almost all of the oil and coal we currently use. This will
save us all that money, which can then be put into productive things.
We will have clean, renewable energy that will cost almost nothing for
as long as we have the sun.

Building the towers will create literally millions of jobs directly and
indirectly, and it will put the billions of dollars we spend on building them
back into our economy. It would be the single largest building project in
history. It will be the single best thing we can do for our country and the
world, because it would dramatically lower the cost of living and stop
polluting the environment. It would lower the cost of everything we
manufacture, so we would be able to compete and beat other countries
in manufacturing that have lower labor costs.

144

www.truthcontest.com

You cannot get too much electricity: There are a never-ending

amount of things we can do with it to improve our lives. We can mal<e
materials that require a lot of electricity to mal<e, lil<e aluminum, for
much cheaper. We can use it to make super-cold fluids, and make
super-conductivity of electricity widespread. This will make levitated
vehicles possible.

We can use it to separate hydrogen from water and make clean, powerful
fuels for vehicles. We can make fresh water from ocean water, and solve
the world's fresh water problem. Abundant, free electhcity will change
everything for the better, and we can have it in the next few years.

Why wait? We use the technology we have now; we do not wait until it
is as cheap as oil. That is just a deception to keep us from doing it. As
technologies to produce free, clean electricity become cheaper and
more efficient, we just replace the older technology with the newer
technology, or we just add to it.

Doing anything is better than just burning the money up.

We should actually use a mix of different technologies to generate the
power we need. Geothermal power taps the endless heat of the earth.

We could supply the whole country's power just from Yellowstone.

The technology to do it is available now.

Internal combustion engines: Most of our cars are powered by internal
combustion engines that burn gasoline. We convert them to natural gas,
and build compressors, so people can fill up from their house gas pipes.
The government will pay for it, because it is better than giving seven-
hundred billion a year to other countries. We have our own natural gas.
We also acknowledge it as a natural resource that belongs to all of us,
not the company that gets it to us. We get it free, minus the cost of a
company making a fair profit to get it to us. We need it as a bridge until
we get an inexpensive hydrogen system up and running.

If we covered about ten percent of the state of Nevada with solar cells, it
would supply all of our energy needs. This is not practical, but it makes
a point. The solar panels would be on roofs across the country. We
could build that system right now.

145

www.truthcontest.com

We could build factories next to solar panels in deserts to make
materials that take a lot of energy to make, like plastics, glass
and aluminum.

We are spending more than a half trillion dollars a year on energy.
Why?

That is just the direct costs for heating, lighting and transportation.
There are also indirect energy costs we pay when we buy products. We
pay for the energy it costs to produce the products.

Why not let the power of the sun and the heat of the inner earth do
most of the work for us?

We could build the system in a few years, and then we would save more
than a half a trillion dollars per year from then on, so why don't we do it?

What is wrong with creating millions of new, high paying jobs in
the USA?

If we can tap a source of free, clean energy, we should do it now. We
should not wait until the technology is as inexpensive as oil. The sooner
we do it, the less money we will be just burning up, and the less we will
hurt the environment.

Oil companies will make more money: We need to save our oil for
making plastics, medicines, and other necessary products that are
made from oil. Why use it for energy when we can get that for free from
the sun?

We are literally burning the most useful material found on
the earth.

Even the rich oil people are going to wake up and realize it would be in
their best interest to stop using so much oil for fuel. They are screwing
themselves.

146

www.truthcontest.com

Plastic houses: New, inexpensive structural plastics and molding
methods will be developed. We will start making vehicles, houses and
buildings out of it. It will cost less, be easier to maintain, look better and
last longer than anything else. It can look and feel like marble, rare
wood, etc. Intricate designs can be molded right in to look like the work
of artists and craftsmen. Look at the interiors of buildings in Star Wars
episode two, and you will see how great plastic will look.

When oil is no longer used to power vehicles, there will be so much
supply that it will start being used for houses, buildings and other
structures that need to be made inexpensive, low maintenance, look
good and last as long as possible. Environmentalists are always saying
that plastic is not biodegradable and stays in the environment forever.
That is bad when used for throwaway products, but it is a very good
thing when it comes to people's houses and buildings, because the
longer they last and the easier to maintain, the better. We want
structures to last and not need costly maintenance. Termites do not eat
plastic, and it does not rust like steel. Houses made of plastic would not
be hurt in floods or earthquakes, and they will be so light that they would
be easy to move.

We can mold whole walls with the spaces for windows and doors
molded in any color and texture. It will never need paint. Until plastic
can be made fire-proof, sprinklers and other fire prevention systems
would be part of all plastic structures. Sprinkler systems do not hurt
plastic like they destroy wood structures.

Green architecture: The roof will be molded to accept solar panels.
Rainwater runoff will be saved in plastic tanks in the walls to use as
drinking water or to water the garden in dry periods. A house or building
could go together something like Legos, so every house will be different
to suit the needs of the people living in it. Construction and
transportation cost would drop. They will come in kits, and people can
put them together themselves with glue.

The oil companies will get bigger and make more money than they are
now. This business will also last much longer if we stop using oil for fuel.
The more oil we have left for other things, the more the oil companies
will make, and the longer they will stay in business. A bonus will be
that it will not pollute the air.

147

www.truthcontest.com

It will stop global warming, because plastic will not release carbon
dioxide into tine air as burning oil does. It will also stop our forests from
being cut down to be used for building material. These forests also take
carbon dioxide out of the air.

Instead of beating on oil companies, we should be giving them big
enough incentives to make it profitable for them to do what we
want them to do.

We are burning up the ultimate construction material by using oil
for fuel.

Once we start getting electricity for free, much of steel, concrete, and
wood will be replaced by new alloys of plastic and aluminum as a
building material.

Read Press Release: Clean Energy and New Jobs for Everyone
www.unifyingtruthproject.org/news/jobs-energy-everyone/

The following plan would solve all of our energy, economic, and
pollution problems within a few years.

Declare war for solar energy: The President would make an executive
order to build and install enough solar cells to supply all of the US
energy needs in two years, and we would probably end up doing it in
one year. Even with millions of men out of the country fighting, we were
the people that made one B-17 bomber every hour on an assembly line
a mile long. Before the war, the factory that did it made cars with a few
thousand parts. The four-engine flying fortress that was ruling the skies
over Europe had over a million parts. We were the guys that made a
complete ship from start to finish in four days at just one shipyard.
Women were doing a lot of the work. Imagine what we could do now?

We mobilize our manufacturing as we did for World War II to build a
new, free and clean energy system. If we could do It during a war, we
can do it in peacetime even faster. We form a war department to
build it.

148

www.truthcontest.com

Mobilize for peace and prosperity: We build the mile long factories
like we used to build planes and ships quickly in World War II. We built
the factories to build the planes and ships in just a few months, and we
could do it even faster now. We build them in different parts of the
country that have high unemployment. These factories would be able to
spit out miles of inexpensive solar panels everyday. Other companies
would transport and install them in our country's deserts and on both
sides of our interstate freeways, on railroad tracks and on roofs. Putting
them next to railroad tracks makes installing and cleaning easy.

Like laying track: We have competitions between companies and give
bonuses to the companies that make the most and lay the most solar
panels in a day. When we were building the transcontinental railroad,
the companies were getting bonuses for every mile of track they laid.
This motivated them to build many miles of track per day. We just do
something similar for laying solar panels.

We get our defense contractors involved in making it happen.

Pentagon: We get our pentagon involved in the war for free energy, just
as we would do for a war. They have the organization skills we will
need. It is why it was really created. The pentagon will be used to create
a heaven on earth. We handle the whole thing like a military operation.
If we do, we can do it fast.

Turn swords into plows: Metaphorically speaking, we would turn
swords into plows if we give the same money we have been giving to
the same people, but when the truth is seen, they will change what they
make from things that hurt people to things that help people. It will be
fulfilling that Bible prophecy, turning swords into plows. That should get
the people that believe in the Bible behind it.

We form thousands of companies to work on different parts of the
system in different locations. We start with the thousands of miles of
tracks we have in our deserts and other high sunshine locations, and
just go from there. At the same time, we install solar panels on every
home and factory. Money will not be an issue. The government will
supply the hardware and labor. We would be adding millions of watts of
free, clean electricity to the power grid everyday by installing miles of
solar panels every day. We would just keep doing this until the solar
panels supply all of Americas energy needs, then the whole world's.

149

www.truthcontest.com

At the same time, our automotive industry starts mass-producing
inexpensive electric cars to use the inexpensive electricity we will be
creating. They will also make natural gas and hydrogen cell vehicles.
This will make the struggling auto industry start booming. When we
wake up, we will not spend billions retooling to make a different new car
every year; we will just make minor improvements to a proven design.
This will cut waste and costs related to vehicles in half. It will create
more jobs, not less. Our total economy will start booming and so will the
world's economy, because they will start doing the same thing with
our help.

On a smaller scale, we start developing and building the towers,
geothermal, wind turbines, and any other promising technology. Down
the road, after we see what is most economical, we gradually replace
the less efficient technologies. The government will provide large grants
to any company developing promising energy technology and more
efficient solar cells, such as nano cell technology.

We go full out on the solar cells, because we know we can do
it now.

We just put less proven technologies on the back burner until after
we have built a solar cell system using the current proven
technology.

Yellowstone: We develop Yellowstone geothermal to make all the
hydrogen we need. It has the heat and water needed to do it. We could
build a system to make rivers of hydrogen to power all engines that now
burn gas. The Yellowstone caldera is over about one hundred square
miles. We could build hundreds of power plants, just like coal power
plants, but we would not need the coal. We could not only make all the
power the US needs, we could be the biggest exporter of hydrogen in
the world in a few years. Instead of buying polluting oil from other
countries, we could make and sell hydrogen. Wake up people.

The solar panel system will be an emergency government operation
which will cut through all the red tape, such as environmental, private
property, and any other issues that could slow it down. The only
concern will be to build it as fast and efficiently as possible, just as in
time of a real war. It is the only way we can do it fast enough for there
not to be a real blood and death national emergency, such as a war.

150

The oil companies will just keep oil cheaper than solar to prevent solar
from being developed. That is why we need the government to get
involved. The mass production will bring the price way down, but we do
it regardless of price at first.

It will start with the President declaring a state of emergency that will
evoke all his wartime powers. A new government department modeled
after our World War II war department will be created to get it done.
They will have the power and a mandate to build the system in no more
than two years. Then the clock will start ticking, and it will start being
built with the total commitment of America.

Commitment: We need a President that will commit to building the
solar power system the way JFK committed America to getting to the
moon in the early sixties, and the way FDR did it to build dams to end
the depression and to build the atomic bomb in World War II, only we
will do it faster.

The technology created to go to the moon indirectly made us money,
but not enough to cover the costs directly. The solar energy project will
make us money directly, just as building dams in the thirties did. Energy
is the foundation of everything, so we should forget about doing any
other big project, and start building the solar power system first.

Mobilized: Why does it take a world war to unite all of America and
mobilize our manufacturing toward a single goal? It does because it is
life or death, and we have no choice. When the truth is seen, we will see
building the energy system and creating a heaven on earth now is life
and death, and we will do it.

We are literally throwing away trillions of dollars a year on energy
and interest on our debt. We could just divert that money to the
power system.

We have given up many great things that would have made our life
better, but the biggest thing is having free, clean power. Energy is the
foundation of our economy, and it would have lowered everyone's cost
of living considerably.

The truth is free and it is the foundation of spiritual life. Solar
power is free and the foundation of physical life. We just do both
with all of our will now.

151

www.truthcontest.com

Print new money: We finance it, the same way we finance war. The
energy project is so important and valuable that it would justify just
printing new money to pay for it. If we did that, we could start building
right away.

It would cost about three trillion dollars to convert our country to
solar power. We would get that money back in less than four years
with the money we are now spending on oil and sending outside
our country.

When we print money, it just dilutes and devalues all our money a little,
so if we do it, everyone will be paying for the new energy system, which
is the way it should be anyway. When the system is completed, it will be
so valuable that the value of our money will go up more than enough to
offset the money we printed.

We act as if we are in a war now to prevent a real war from
happening.

Our goals: America has to do few things with all its effort: create a free
electrical power system, a free world, and spread the truth. Nothing
more, nothing less. It starts right now with you sending the letters
about the truth contest. (See: Spread the Truth - Insights)

Infrastructure: We are proposing to spend almost a trillion dollars
rebuilding infrastructure, such as old bridges and roads, to create jobs
and stimulate the economy. The problem is that bridges and roads do
not pay for themselves, let alone make money like solar and geothermal
technology. We need to spend our tax dollars on things that pay for
themselves and make money first.

The solution above sounds too simple to be true, too good to be
true, but it is not. It is simple and good, and we can do it now. If we
did it in wartime, we can do it even faster in peacetime; we just
have to be as motivated.

"The Present - Insights"

Author's "Must-See" Movie List

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor
steal: Matthew 6:20

You may be thinking, winy is a guy tliat writes a bool< called The
Present, a book that says fantasies are bad, so into movie fantasies?

The reason is the book is written about a different place, a place
religions call heaven. The devil (animal mind) currently owns this world,
and the world where you can live in the present a lot of the time does
not exist yet. Since I cannot live in the present much yet, I fantasize
about it until I can live in it. There is a difference between my fantasies
and the fantasies that most people have. My fantasies are possible, and
thus can come true.

Fantasy is OK after you know the truth of life, but not before you
know it.

There is a belief that if you just believe something is true, have enough
faith it is true or can become true, it will become real here or in your next
life after you die. This is part right. Most beliefs or faiths contain some
truth. That is the case with this one. A faith or belief can and will come
true if it is possible, if it can happen in God's universe, not just in your
imagination.

Most people are not going to see their beliefs come true. Christianity in
its current form, for example, is a belief that cannot come true. For a
belief or faith to come true, it has be within the laws of nature that
Newton and Einstein have revealed, and my book reveals. My beliefs
and faith, my fantasies are going to come true, because they can work
in reality. A better word is vision. My vision of the future can and will
come true, at least for me and the people that share my vision and help
to spread it.

I send everyone a letter after they read my books that says the next
step is to become a prophet. A prophet is someone that predicts or
prophesies the future. It may not be the future for everyone, but it will be
for the person envisioning it, and those that can see the same vision
and want it enough to devote their life and resources to make it happen.

153

www.truthcontest.com

My books are a vision. Many people on that comments list on the
contest site think they know what my books are about, but they really do
not know. They think I am talking about here now. I am not, but I have to
let them think that so they will stay interested long enough for them to
stay on the path when they discover the truth. I am a fisher of men and
women, and it is like bait.

I say this in the book; I talk about using the devil against the devil, or
telling untruths in order to get an important truth across that cannot be
got across any other way, but many people ignore it, so they think I am
talking about now. The movies on this list do it, as well as many novels.
The means are justified if the means do not hurt anyone, even if you fail
to get the big truth across. Thus, I let people believe that they can live in
eternal bliss here and now, when I know it is not the truth. The end
justifies the means. It is a good lie; Jesus and all prophets past and
present that are trying to spread the divine truth do it. You have to fight
fire with fire, lies with lies.

Do not get me wrong, your life now does get much better than most
people in the devil's world, but this is not heaven, and to try and live like
it is, is a waste of time and foolish. It will also make it impossible for it to
come true in the future.

It is possible for this world to change and become a heaven in my
lifespan, and I work at making that happen, but the odds are against it.
The Bible says it will come in the blink of an eye, but I do not count on it.
I know how long we have been waiting, working, evolving, so I would
not be surprised if it takes one or even a few more lifespans to get
to heaven.

The important thing is to have the vision; in other words, to know where
you are going. If you do not know where you are going, you will not get
to a heaven; you will be lost. The devil mind, the beast will see to it, that
you get on its path and stay on it as long as you do not see the way out
and do what is necessary to get out.

154

www.truthcontest.com

All the movies on my movie list have pieces to the puzzle, and people
that have read my books can see how they fit. It is not just the truth that
is in them, the life is in them even more so. The landscapes are places I
would like to live. In The Night of the Iguana, that hotel on a hill over
looking the ocean with Ava Gardner and rum cocos would be enjoyable
to me. I would want a few changes, like I would like the young Ava. If
you Google her, you will see that at one time, she was one of the most
beautiful women in the world, and smart and interesting. I would also
like to have a young body like those young Mexicans, but with the mind,
voice, and command of the English language that Richard Burton had.
What you like and don't like picks the pieces you want in your heaven.
You can have an infinite number of them, because heaven lasts forever.

As you can see, I use people and places that exist in this world to flesh
out my vision of heaven. That is important, because they or something
very close to them will manifest in my heaven, only they will be much
better than we can imagine. That is why I watch the same movies over
and over.

It is the same with music. The music I like and want to take with me, I
listen to over and over again, plant it deep in my collective unconscious
mind, the only thing that will survive my death. The treasures I put in will
be waiting for me. It is like I am collecting things, and have been my
whole life for a time when I can have them in real life. You can get some
thing now.

If you do not know the truth, you will take the bad things from this life
and past lives with you. In other words, you will stay in the animal cycle
of life. If you know the truth of life, you can discard everything you do
not want, and keep only what you want.

So start collecting your treasures, cars, people, houses, music, etc. You
may or may not get some of them in your current life. You do not invest
your time and money in getting them now. You put your resources into
learning and spreading the truth, helping others get to heaven, helping
turn this world into a heaven, because that is how you get to heaven
yourself. As it says in the Bible, your treasures in heaven are not subject
to loss, damage, etc., as they are in this world.

Author's Life Soundtrack

I put up a list of the movies that influenced my life. The music I grew up with
also has had a big influence on the way I see life, so I am sharing it here
with you. Maybe these songs will open doors for you as they did for me.

My life really did have a musical soundtrack that stretches from the late
1950s until the late 1970s. As I say in my book, I was not that into The
Beatles; there are a few Beatles songs that are on this list, but not
many. Most were one hit wonders. There were hundreds of songs that
were great, but these are the stand-outs that bring me back to a time
and place that was magical. As I said with the movies on my list, I will
take parts of them with me always; it is the same with these songs.
They are the songs I will take to heaven with me.

They are in alphabetical order, not in order of what I like best. You may not
like them all, but try to get the feeling they give; they paint a picture in sound.

"The Present - Insights"

Mankind - Men and Women

The word "man" comes from ancient Sanskrit and means "mind."
l\/lankind is mindkind.

Women are mankind. Woman means womb-man, or mind witli a womb.

Tfiis really is a man's world, the mind's world. Men and women definitely live in
the world of the mind. Both the male and female of the human species are
mankind/mindkind, but in some important ways, females are superior to males.

In the future, more women will be political leaders than men, because they are
better at resolving conflicts without violence. Evolution has programmed males
for violence and aggression. Most males like violence; most females do not.

Evolution has programmed females to have more people skills, such as
patience, compromising, talking things out or screaming it out, as the case may
be. The point is that they do not resort to deadly violence as much as men do.

Men are always looking for any legal excuse (war) to get into a life and death
fight. We do not think we do, but history says we do. It is in our genes and is the
way we have been dealing with problems for as long as we have been on earth.

How many women love guns? Just about none of them do. How many
men love guns? Just about all of us do. It is not something we just learn;
it is in our genes. It is not as if we enjoy being soldiers carrying eighty
pounds up and down hills in the rain, but we need to kill our enemies
before they kill us. It is the way it is.

IVIen know what we are up against. We are up against other men,
and we know what we are capable of, so we have to get them
before they get us.

Violence works: That saying that violence never accomplished
anything is not true. Nothing works better than violence. In the past,
might was always right. It would work every time in the past. It is what
formed the world we live in now. The problem is our weapons have
gotten too good. We have to find a new way or the human race will kill
itself. Thus, we are past violence and entering a new age.

Men would just be giving women control so that we do not kill each
other and the rest of the world. We have become too dangerous.

160

www.truthcontest.com

You may have noticed that men like to make bombs to blow each
other up.

We have gotten far too good at it. The US has enough nuclear bombs to
kill half of the human race in less than one hour from now. Everyone
else would die from nuclear winter. We could go extinct by pushing
some buttons right now. This is the situation that men have created. We
have to change things in a fundamental way, or we are at risk of a
disaster of Biblical proportions. The situation is just too dangerous to
avoid making a radical change now.

Men dream about fighting wars; fighting feels natural to us. Women
dream of creating new life, family and love; that feels natural to them.

You just have to look at our prison population to see the truth. Women
comprise a small percent of the prison population compared to men.
Most are in for drug offenses, not violence. Even when you look back
through our savage history, there is very little evidence of female
violence. All the violence comes from men. There is the occasional
husband killer, but it is very rare, and a man usually drove them to it.

It has nothing to do with physical strength anymore. A woman can pick
up a gun just as easily as a man can, but they do not. They find a better
solution more often, and it is this difference that makes them better
suited to be in power now.

Out of sight may be out of mind, but the truth is, about one-hundred
million people were killed as a result of warfare in the nineteen
hundreds, and right now, someone gets killed by warfare every twenty
seconds. It will get much worse.

We men have been in charge for all of our history. We have had some
really great fights to look back on, but our time is over. Our fighting
ability has outgrown our world. It would be nice if we could go back to
swords and axes, but that is not possible, thus it is the end of an era.
We will always have violent video games.

Females like other people more than males do. Physical violence is not
in their nature. They naturally have the edge when it comes to love, and
everything will.

Men and women are equal: The females of the human species do
think and feel things in a little different way than males, but they are
fundamentally the same. They are different but equal. Both can and will
go to heaven if they see the truth.

161

www.truthcontest.com

Woman/flowers: Do you know why women like flowers so much? It is
because they are flowers. A flower is the female of the plant world. A
woman is the female of our world. They have the same biological
function. Like flowers, females of our species are naturally beautiful and
attractive. They have to be to propagate the species. A flower has to
attract bees to reproduce and create new life; a woman needs to attract
the males of our species to reproduce. They are good at it, as our ever-
growing population attests. 14,000+ human babies are born every hour.

Women are life: Women do not just create all new life physically, they
are life itself. It is what makes them so beautiful. It is what makes
children beautiful also.

Women are love personified: When women see the truth, they will be
love. The mind/man has just diminished them and cut them off from true
life. Women are not in touch with what they truly are. When women see
the truth, they will blossom spiritually before most men will. Women are
naturally closer to true life than most men are. There are a few
exceptions to that rule, but not many.

Men are naturally closer to the truth; women are naturally closer to
the life. Men naturally live more in their minds. Women naturally live
more in their bodies and the present. In general, men think more, and
women live more.

Temptress: The misinterpretation of the story of Adam and Eve is one
of the reasons that women have been put down throughout history.
Women have been painted as the temptresses who use their seductive
power to lead men astray. Women are temptresses; it is necessary. It is
one of the most powerful forces in nature, but it is not witchcraft. It is just
a biological imperative for reproduction, but women are much more, and
when the truth is seen, women will play a much bigger role in mankind's
destiny than people believe.

We need women in power to become truly civilized; it is that simple.

The big picture: Naturally, not all women are suited to be leaders. This
book speaks in generalities; it looks at the big picture of life. Some
women are as crazy as a soup sandwich and cannot control
themselves, let alone a country, but there are more than enough women
that are suited to run things. Men are best suited to be spiritual leaders
now, and women are best suited to be political leaders. Women in
general are just more down to earth than men, less violent, and more
compassionate. These are reasons they need to be in charge.

162

www.truthcontest.com

Men (that know the truth) will lead the way, but women will run the
world. I can say women will run the world in the future with complete
certainty, because if they are not our leaders, no one will be; there will
be no future for mankind.

Men will give women truth, and women will give men life.

Women were in charge of all of us when we were kids, and they kept us
out of trouble. When the truth is seen, they will naturally take care of the
whole human race, all their offspring. It will be a kinder, gentler world, a
safer world.

This is one of the things that becomes obvious when you wake up,
but few can see the truth now, so it will take some work to reveal it
in time.

We have to respect and recognize our natural strengths and
weaknesses to do the jobs that we are best suited for. If we do not face
the truth, we will not survive.

The few women in power act like males. They have no choice; they
have to play like the boys to stay in the game. We need women in
power that act like women.

It really is a man's world, and that is the problem.

The fruit of the mind is fear and death; the fruit of the spirit is love
and life.

Romantic era: The most romantic era in history will begin when people
learn the ultimate truth. That means women are going to be in charge
anyway; we males may as well just surrender to life now.

Modesty: Just as men should not use their greater natural power of
physical strength to overpower and control women, women should not
use their naturally greater power of physical attraction to overpower and
control men. In some places in the world, this is taken to extremes.
Some women in the eastern world are forced to cover themselves up to
take away some of their power of attraction, which is not good. Some
women in the west do the opposite and dress and act in a way that
maximizes their power of sexual attraction, which is not good. When the
truth is seen, women will live in the middle, and be modest ladies. This
will be the right way to be. Women are a powerful force in this world,
and not until they see the truth and take control of their natural power
will the world find peace.

163

www.truthcontest.com

The age of man/mind is ending; the age of love/spirit is beginning.

The mystery of life: Women will always be mysterious to men,
because they are life itself, and life is mysterious and always will be,
even after you understand it. Women are life mixed with emotion are
impossible to understand completely.

Women are not supposed to be understood, they are supposed to
be loved. Oscar Wilde

A man cannot be a real man without knowing the truth, because he
does not know right from wrong. A woman cannot be a real woman
without knowing the truth, because without the truth, she cannot know
true life and know herself.

The Bible says God put man into a deep sleep and then created
woman.

Men are great: I am not putting men down; we built this world. We
created almost all the great music, art, literature and architecture, etc.
Men have been the great prophets, philosophers, poets, inventors and
builders of the past, and we will continue to be in the future if we do not
kill ourselves and everyone else.

Most dangerous animal: Men have done most of the best things, but
also most of the worst things. Man is by far the most dangerous animal
that ever lived on the earth. Men make dinosaurs look like pussycats.
We not only kill better than anything that has ever lived, we will kill
ourselves if things do not change fast. As Clint Eastwood said, "Men
have to realize their limitations." We need women to eliminate the risk of
killing ourselves out of our future so men can continue to do the great
things we do. We need our women to save us from ourselves.

Males naturally are best suited to get the human race to heaven.
Woman are best suited to run this world and make life more
beautiful here and now.

Insights by the author of "The Present"

The Greatest Generation

Civilization is just a reflection of manl<ind's true nature. Wlien people
become spiritual beings, tiiey will naturally get into government, and as tiiey
do, tine government will begin to change to reflect these new beings. The
government will change when the beings that run it change, and not until.

We are the government: People are always saying the government is
doing this and doing that, as if it is a separate entity. It is not separate; the
government is us. People in government live in this country and have
families like everyone else. If we are good, the government will be good.

Baby boomers: The people that were young in the sixties have evolved
into the establishment, more or less. The people that comprise the older
generation, the world war generation, are dying off. The last of them are
in their eighties and nineties, and they will all be gone in the next few
years. Their powerful and inflexible mindset will go with them. That will
give the baby boomers a chance to change the world, and they will. It is
what we were born to do, and deep down, we all know it. Our fathers
did what they had to do to save tlie world; it's our turn now.

The greatest generation: That is just BS to make them feel good before
they die. They look pretty good if you just look at our side and do not look
at the whole picture. We were the good guys, but the bad guys were as
bad as we were good. It was also the generation that produced Hitler, Stalin,
Mussolini, Tojo and many other really bad people. Their generation fought a
world war that killed at least fifty million people. The truth is, they had some of
the best and some of the worst people, and they did some very good and very
bad things. We do not want to follow in their footsteps. We cannot do it even if
we wanted to; our weapons have become too powerful. President Eisenhower
pointed out that mankind went from muskets to hydrogen bombs in his lifetime.
Their generation invented nuclear weapons and chemical and biological
weapons, WMDs. Their generation left us a very dangerous world we now
have to deal with. There is nothing great about that.

The almighty dollar: Their generation believed that materialism was
everything. They chased the almighty dollar all their life. They did not
care how much they destroyed the environment, so they left us with a
giant pollution machine that will kill us all if we do not stop it or rebuild
the machine soon. They have also done their best to program our minds
to do the same thing they did. They were very closed-minded. It was
pretty egotistical, and it just shows how blind they are to the truth. It
caused a lot of conflict and alienation in families.

165

www.truthcontest.com

The Bible says in John 9, "Once I was blind, and now I can see."

The baby boomers are going to be the greatest generation if we do
our job. We are the first generation in the history of the human race that
can really do something that will make a difference. Only we can do
something that could really be called great.

We have to turn around what the "greatest generation" did, or
there will be no future generations.

Winning is everything: The winning is everything mentality was
necessary to get us to where we are now, and it will be justified if we do
what we need to do.

Payoff: The last generation will have done a great thing if we use the
good things they did to help change people into spiritual beings. If we do
not, both generations will be the worst that there has ever been, and
there will be no future generations. If we want the last generation to be
great, we will have to make what they did payoff, and we will have to be
really great to do it.

Square: I have no doubt that their intentions were noble, and they did
what they believed was right for the world and us, but the truth is, they
buried the truth in concrete, and we are going to have to dig it up fast, or
the truth will stay buried. Their lives were simple, in black and white, just
like their TVs. They were certain that they knew right from wrong. They
could not know the truth, but we can.

Living in the NOW: The baby boomers knew living in the present was
the way to live. Many books were written on the subject in the sixties,
but the time was not right, and it could not happen, no matter how hard
people tried.

The younger generation of the 60s has become the older generation.

We are in charge now: We should have no problem doing what we
want now; we're in charge. We're now the grownups, the establishment.

The seed has been planted, and it is just waiting for the right
environment for it to grow. We tried everything we could try; open
marriages, drugs, all the religions, and we know what works and what
does not work, so we know what to do. The people that grew up in the
sixties are ready to get spiritual. They are just waiting for the truth to be
revealed and until the time is right to start living a spiritual life. There is
nothing to stop us now, so we can make it happen now.

"The Present - Insights"

Simplicity and Equality

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for
everyone, best both for the body and the mind. Albert Einstein

Simple life: Most spiritual people will live the simplest life possible. That
does not mean that people will not use high technology and other
complicated things; they will just simplify the way they use it. High
technology will be used to make life more simple, not more complicated.

As Jesus said, "That which is hidden from the wise and educated
has been revealed unto babes."

If the truth was not simple, children could not understand it, and Jesus
says they can. He also says you have to be like a child to find heaven. If
the truth were something only educated scholars could understand, he
would be lying. Only the eggheads of the world would get into heaven.
The opposite is true; it is the eggheads that will miss the truth the
longest. Information is not wisdom.

All physical theories, their mathematical expressions not
withstanding, ought to lend themselves to so simple a description
that even a child could understand them. Albert Einstein

Everything in this book can be explained to and understood by a child,
simply because the truth is simple. The problems and solutions are
simple and obvious to anyone that can get their own mind out of the
way. The simple way is the way.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the
multiplicity and confusion of things. Isaac Newton

Simplify, simplify.
Henry David Thoreau

You will never be able to escape the mind if your life is complicated,
because complication forces you to live in the mind most of the time.

We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives,
anytime, in the blink of an eye. Carlos Castaneda

167

www.truthcontest.com

Walk away: You have to always be in a position mentally to walk away
from things that are ruining the quality of your life. You can walk away
from things and people that drag you down to the animal level. Your
mind will tell you that you cannot, but you can. The mind will try to keep
you too busy to find the truth and the life. You cannot be around other
strong minds without being infected by them. You have to be able to
walk away for your own well-being and spiritual growth.

You can change your perspective in the blink of an eye, and that is the
most important thing. It may take you a while to get in a position to do it,
but it is essential to growing spiritually. As Jesus said, never do anything
you do not want to do, and it really is that simple. The truth is, you do
not need to do much that you do not want to do, and people have to
learn this.

Never stay with people that just want to play mind games.

You have been there and done that, and you know it does not make you
happy. You owe it to yourself to just drop relationships that do not feed
your spirit.

Giving: The goal should not be to get more things. It should be the
opposite, to live on as little as possible, and give any excess money you
have to the less fortunate. The more spiritual you are, the less you need
and want, and the more you have to give.

The character of a man is not determined by how much money he
makes and what he has, but by how much he gives and can be happy
living without.

Live a modern life: I am not saying people should go native and try
and live off the land like some hippies did. We do not want to spend all
of our time just trying to feed ourselves as we did in the past. We want
to live modern lives, just less expensive and more simple lives. We use
technology for what it is meant for, to really make life better. People
swing from one extreme to the other, when the center is the best place
to be, the only place you can truly live in the present.

The most rare and valuable thing in the universe is the truth and
the life.

The truth is what sets you free. The most valuable thing is the truth and
the life. It is not temporary, and it is free.

Jesus said, "It is because their vision is distorted by the followers
of the lie that they value that which is nothing."

The end of the movie "Citizen Kane" says it all. The old guy is sitting
there in the center of all that treasure, and all he wants is the sled (Rose
Bud) he had when he was a kid. What he really wanted was the way he
saw life when he was a kid.

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver
and gold. Khalil Gibran

These days man knows the price of everything, but the value of
nothing. Oscar Wilde

Injustice: If you do not want to be treated unjustly, you have to help
eradicate injustice for everyone, because what goes around comes
around. If you do not want to be poor and are well to do now, you have
to learn the ultimate truth and help get rid of all the poor people on
earth. What we do for others, we do for ourselves. To do God's work,
you work for equality in all things.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Henry David Thoreau

Reap what you sow: In about 1930, Hitler looked around and saw the
German people standing in soup lines. He asked himself why the
smartest, hardest working people in Europe needed a suitcase full of
money to buy a loaf of bread. Why weren't the German people reaping
what they had sown? If a man works, he should be able to make a
decent living, but that was not happening. Something was not right;
something was interfering with the system and making it unfair.

The merit system was broken: The people that were not doing the
real work were getting all the money, and the people that were doing the
work were starving. Hitler thought that the financial world was being
manipulated to give the money unfairly to those that did not earn it.

Rich and powerful people just naturally do this to make themselves
more rich.

He blamed the Jewish people. This led directly to World War II. It was
the real reason for the war, which almost no one knows. The war was
against the Jews. Hitler was wrong. His enemy was not the Jewish
people. There was no organized conspiracy that the Jewish people
were intentionally perpetrating on Germany and the rest of the world. It
was just rich people being rich people.

The truth could be twisted by people like Hitler to look like the Jews
were behind it, because many Jewish families where in the banking
business, and many were very wealthy. They were an easy target to
focus people's hate and anger on. It was a political move to make a
visible enemy, while the real enemy was invisible. Many Jews were rich,
and thus were part of the problem, but they were just doing what all rich,
powerful people were doing and continue to do.

Scapegoat: Hitler blamed the Jews for the loss of WWI and
communism. He was a racist and did not like the Jews, so he used them
as a target to blame all of Germany's problems on. They were just a
scapegoat used to get him into power.

The real enemy was the mind of man, the beast within. The rich people
really did not know what was happening or where it would lead, or they
would not have done it. Without consciously knowing it, the financial
powers of the time screwed up the financial system and made it so
unfair that it caused a world war.

What they were doing was not illegal, so they thought it was okay. It
was just survival of the fittest, and they figured that they were the fittest,
because they made all the money. It is actually just part of a cycle.

The rich were the only ones that could have changed the situation, but
they didn't, because they were making so much money. Since they
would not stop it. Hitler knew the only way he could stop it was
with violence.

Hitler said, "You have laws, and I have bayonets; let's see who
will win."

Everyone lost. The financial inequality led directly to the death of about
fifty million people in the Second World War. Everyone had a good
reason; everyone was in the right, but no one really knew what was
happening or why. The same thing is starting to happen in the United
States now. Why are the smartest, most creative, hardest working
people in the world going broke? Millions of Americans are losing their
houses. Everyone else is losing much of the money they worked for and
earned over the last twenty years. That is not right and is not fair. Why
is it happening?

It is people's ignorance and people's ignorance of their ignorance.

It is really no ones fault; it is just a cycle that happens when people live
blind to the truth. When people are driving blindfolded, they cannot help
but crash every so often. Right now, we are blindfolded on a winding
road, going much too fast.

Things can only get so far out of balance before they swing the
other way.

Flying blind is not going to lead to World War III; it is actually going to
lead to something much worse. If America goes down, the whole world
will go down. Anyone that believes that America can just go the way of
other superpowers of the past is not seeing the truth. This is it; things
will get very good or very bad.

The difference will be instead of fifty million dying, it could be five billion
people, or all of us, because of the nuclear weapons and biological
weapons. The only way we can avoid a calamity of Biblical proportions
is for us to wake up to the truth in time to turn it around.

The rich have to see the light: The people in power are the only ones
that can change the way it is going and bring justice, fairness, and
balance to our financial system. This time, we need to do it right, or the
game is over. If the rich and powerful do not turn it around, they have to
realize that it will kill them and their families, along with everyone else. It
could be forgiven when it happened last time, because no one could
know the truth, but now that we know the truth, it will be unforgivable.

When the merit system breaks down, society will breakdown
soon after.

171

www.truthcontest.com

People have to reap what they sow. If a person does the work to build a
home for himself and his family, he should have the home. A person
that does nothing should have nothing. If someone does the work to
sow seeds, he deserves to reap the food that grows. We are messing
with Mother Nature, and she will kill us. Naturally, capital should make a
fair profit, but it is getting dangerously out of balance again. The merit
system is the foundation of civilization. It is what makes civilization,
civilization. If the foundation collapses, so will civilization.

Forced labor: The way it has always been, the hard and undesirable
jobs are done by people who have no choice. They are so poor and
have so few opportunities that they have to work the jobs no one else
wants to do, and they have to do it cheap or someone else in their
position will. It's indirect forced labor. Society (the beast) creates a
desperate underclass in our country and other countries, so they will
work for the rich for low pay.

This results in many people having less than they need, and a few
people having more than they need.

That worked in the past, but it will not work in the future. Inequality is the
cause of most of our world's problems. The difference now is that
inequality will create terrorists that can and will kill millions of people
with nuclear and bio-weapons.

Poverty and inequality create fanatics and most social problems.

Even if we can keep a large underclass to do the work, we do not want
to go cheap and forcefully prevent them from getting dangerous
weapons. We would still be doomed, because it will mean we did not
learn the ultimate truth.

Everyone that works a forty hour week should be able to live a
comfortable, middle class life, no matter what they do.

If someone does the work, they need to be compensated fairly for that
work. If this does not happen, society breaks down. The beast within is
turned loose, and people return to the jungle. Now it will effect
everyone, including the rich.

172

www.truthcontest.com

Ignorance of the truth is behind things like inflation, high interest, high
taxes, deception, lies, injustice and hypocrisy, which undermine the
merit system. In the future, people that do the undesirable jobs will
make more than people that do easy, desirable jobs. If not, we did not
learn from the past, and we did not learn the ultimate truth. If we do not
learn the truth, we are all doomed, rich and poor alike.

The rich do not want what is going to happen to happen; no
one would.

The following is what the Bible says: God says, "I can't stand your
religious meetings. I'm fed up with your conferences and
conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your
pretentious slogans and goals. I'm sick of your fund-raising
schemes, your public relations and image making. I've had all I can
take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to
me? Do you know what I want? I want justice, oceans of it. I want
fairness, rivers of it. That's what I want, all I want." Amos 5:21-24

Rich and poor: When the truth is seen, people that get rich will share
their wealth with poor people, because they will know that it is in their
best interest to do so.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Henry David Thoreau

There is no point in having more than you need, because if you have a
lot in this life, the balance will see to it that you will have that much less
in the next life. No one will want to be really rich unless they want to be
really poor.

Jesus said that it is impossible for rich people to enter heaven.

He actually said something about a camel getting through the eye of a
needle, but it means the same thing. The point is that being rich makes
it impossible to get to heaven. It will destroy the human race, and it will
destroy the rich spiritually.

Jesus said, "The glories of this realm last only a moment; the
glories of the heavenly realm abide forever."

173

www.truthcontest.com

One of the many reasons being rich makes it impossible is that you feel
too good about your mind. You think you are smart and can make things
happen; the illusion is too strong for rich people to see the truth. It is the
same with intellectuals. They are too smart to know that they are
ignorant of the things that really matter.

If the rich, powerful people do not see the truth, we are all doomed.

When you are winning the game, you do not see a reason to change the
rules. If it is not broken, why fix it? This makes people very short-
sighted. Seeing the truth would result in them giving up their financial
wealth, their advantage, and while it is working, there is no way they are
going to do that.

Your money or your life: Robbers say to people, "Your money or your
life." Most people would rather have their life, so they give the crook
their money. God is saying the same thing to you if you are rich or have
more than you need. It is better to be living only ten percent of real life
than ninety percent of real life, because the person living ten percent
has a chance to get one-hundred percent. Someone that has ninety
percent has no chance of getting one-hundred percent.

Rich people do not actually have a much higher percentage of fulfillment
than anyone else, but the little bit extra they have stops them from
evolving further.

You cannot have both true life and a lot more money than you need.
You can have a life that is a little better than people that do not have
money, but it is that little bit that prevents you from ever having true life.
It is a very bad deal.

Fool's gold: The reason is, the person that is a little bit more fulfilled
thinks they have it a lot better than people that do not have as much
money as them, so they will not take the chance of losing it to go
further. They have fool's gold.

All or nothing: Heaven is one-hundred percent of life. Ninety or even
ninety-nine percent is not even close. In fact, it is actually further way,
because people are less motivated to go further. You have to want it all
to get it all.

The farther away from the truth and the life, the closer you actually
are to it.

174

www.truthcontest.com

The less life you start out with, the better, because you have a better
chance to learn the truth and get to heaven. This is why Jesus said it is
impossible for rich people to see the truth and get to heaven.

The only thing you can do is give away what you do not
really need.

It will hurt, but so does childbirth. It's good pain. Being rich or having
more money than you need just makes you less motivated to look for
anything different than the reality that you are living, and that is enough
for you not to find the truth.

Getting the necessities to stay alive is difficult. You cannot easily take
chances of losing the little you have. Being rich or poor is a full time job.

One no longer becomes poor or rich; both require too much
exertion. Friedrich Nietzsche

Living on the edge of life, rich or poor, makes the truth hard to see and
even harder to live by. It will be easiest for people that live in the center
of life to do it.

The middle class are in the best position to see the truth.

Success and failure are equally disastrous.
Tennessee Williams

People in their sixties and seventies still chase money and power;
are they stupid? Don't they realize they will be dead in a few years
for certain?

Middle class: In the future, everyone will be middle class. People will
have everything they need and want and only have to work about half of
the time they do now. In heaven, everyone will be middle class and
have everything they need.

We will not all live alike as futurists predict. We will never live like the
Jetsons; the opposite will be true. Everyone will live differently. We will
still have all the toys and extras that we want; we just won't want much.

Most of our effort and money is wasted now.

175

www.truthcontest.com

Once the money spent on war, crime, and other destructive, non-
productive things can be spent on productive things, and once no one
wants much more than they need, there will not be the need for much
money or work.

We live in a throw away society. This will change, or nature is going to
throw us away. Nature never wastes anything, and manl<ind wastes
almost everything. We live in nature, so we will be destroyed by it if we
do not see the error of our ways.

We now live in conflict with nature, and we have to live in harmony with
it to survive. In the coming years, this fact is going to become more and
more clear.

Luck of the draw: The only difference between the rich and the poor
people on this planet is the luck of the draw. The rich were lucky this
time around, and they will not be the next time. The balance of nature
will see to that for certain. If we do not change the world and eradicate
poverty, the rich will be poor in their next life. God is fair to everyone,
and you can see it if you see immortality and rebirth.

Can't lose: We can take care of the problem, or we can let the
balancing force do it. If we do it, we will be doing God's work, and we
will create a heaven or go to a heaven when we die, so that is what we
should be doing.

Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth. Matthew 6:10

Doing God's work or will, will help the person doing it more than it helps
the people they are helping. In the process of helping create a heaven
on earth, we will be doing what is necessary to go to heaven when we
die, so we cannot lose.

The Bible says: Whoever does God's will shall abide in heaven
forever.

God's will Is to balance life and to create the truth and the life. That Is
all, but that is everything we want and need. It is heaven when
seen clearly.

All I want to learn is how to think like God thinks.
Albert Einstein

176

www.truthcontest.com

Once the rich learn the truth, they will do God's work and become
middle class. They will do it, because they will know it is in their best
interest to do it.

We have to rebuild America's middle class.

For a democracy to really work, most people have to be middle class.
Being middle class is the best place to be for many reasons.

The Bible says, "Give me neither poverty nor riches."

America is losing its middle class. The gap between the rich and poor is
getting bigger, and the middle class is disappearing. This will lead to
disaster for rich and poor alike. Everyone thinks they want to get rich,
but they really want fulfillment.

The trickle down method of creating prosperity that our Republican
Party favors, in reality, just makes the rich richer, and not enough
money trickles down to the poor. It is one of those ideas the rich like that
just does not work in practice. The trickle has not trickled down to
everyone. This is truth you can check.

The top-down method is over. It is now time for the bottom-up
method.

We have been using the top-down method for over two hundred years,
and millions have lived and died in poverty as a result. It did help make
us the economic powerhouse we are, but now it is time for everyone to
benefit, to reap what mankind has sown. It is time for everyone to
benefit at the same time.

The right are not right because the left are left behind. That does
not mean the left are right. It will take a little bit of each in the right
places to be right. Swinging back and forth is not right either. Doing the
right thing is the right thing.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the
abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide
enough for those who have too little. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Business should get rich or poor on their merit, but people need
equality.

"The Present - Insights"

Giving is Receiving

Leaving the animal realm: You give what you do not need, just
because the beast in you does not want you to do it. Your goal is to do
what an animal would not do. You consciously become more than an
animal, just because you can.

Your only chance: You may be saying that no one can know for certain
that it will get you to heaven, but you can know for certain that it is the
only thing that could, the only thing that gives you any chance at all. It is
better to take the only chance to be something other than an animal
than not take it. It is the only chance you have, so you have to take it, or
there is no hope for you.

When you know the truth, you know it for certain, but before that, you
just have to go with the odds, because it is the only truth you can know
when just starting.

You have to start with faith in the value of the truth before you
know it.

Jesus says it will happen if you do it, and it is the best way to live, even
if you do not believe what Jesus says. Plus, it is the only chance, period.

You have only two choices: to act like an animal, or to be
something better.

If you want to stay in the animal realm, just act the way everyone else acts,
and you will continue to be one in this life for sure, and most likely be one
in the next life after you die. If you want to be something different in this life
for certain and have the only chance to get to a heaven, you have to do
what Jesus says to do and not be an animal this time around. Don't live
like an animal. It is that simple.

Go with the flow: We can see our position on the edge of the animal
realm; we are like an island in a sea of animal life.

We are just one of millions of different species, and we have only been
here for a short time, and we only will be here for a short time before we
return to that sea of animal life. You can take advantage of it, or just go
with the flow.

178

www.truthcontest.com

One flow is the flow or cycle of animal life that goes in a circle; the other
flows to the center of animal life and transforms you and the world you
live in to a heaven.

The two flows: There are two flows, one for the animal mind, and
another for a spiritual being. When you can see the two flows, you will
not want to go with the animal flow. A spiritual being always goes with
the flow, but the truth changes the direction of the flow for you. It makes
it go in the exact opposite direction.

There are two roads, the low road and high road. If you take the high
road, you are going to heaven. If you take the low road, you stay here or
you go to hell.

If you want to make a change in direction, giving is one of the ways
to do it.

Give unconditionally. Give to the person or people you ordinarily would
not give to. Give to the people you dislike and that you feel deserve it
the least.

Jesus said, when you give to the least of my brothers, you give to me.

In other words, when you help the worst people, you do the best thing
you can do for your spiritual growth, because it gets you on the right
path. Do it for you, not the person you are giving to. Jesus says to love
even your enemy. Do it.

If you do not like someone, just remember that is your mind judging
another person's mind. Your mind does not like another person's mind.
If you strip the minds away, a spiritual being will see another spiritual
being. If you see past the illusion created by people's minds, you will
like them, because you will see a spiritual being just like yourself.

The law of the jungle: In the past, we had to take to receive; we had to
hurt others to feel good. If we needed something, we had to take it from
another. It was the law of the jungle, and we had no other choice. Now
we have a choice.

Times of scarcity are the norm, and during those times, the animal is in
complete control. This is why we have to make our move now while we can.

179

What gives you the right to have more than you need, when human
beings just like you and children have less than they need? Can
you see the truth?

New day: Now it is a new day and the rules have changed. We now
have to do the exact opposite of what we did in the animal past. We
now have to give to receive. We have to help others, not hurt them, to
feel good and evolve further.

The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion
and the will to help others. Albert Schweitzer

180: We have to mal<e a one-hundred and eighty degree change, do
the complete opposite of what our animal mind tells us to do. We have
to overcome literally millions of years of evolutionary programming to do
it, become a totally new form of life. This is what saves us personally for
certain, and it could save everyone.

Jesus said, those that overcome will see heaven and show others
the way.

All we have to do is overcome our animal instincts to get to heaven,
because when we overcome our animal instincts, we overcome the
animal realm.

This does not mean we get rid of our animal instincts. We still enjoy the
good ones in a controlled manner. We just do not let them control
us anymore.

Show the way: Even if everyone gave away everything they did not need,
it would help a lot, but it would not be enough to change the world into a
paradise. That said, just the act of giving will eventually change things.

This is because the act will change the people giving into spiritual
beings and show the people they are giving to the way.

You do not wait for everyone to start doing it; you just start doing
it now.

We are not in the giving business; we are in the creating spiritual beings
business, and spiritual beings can and will create a heaven on earth.

180

www.truthcontest.com

Fulfillment creates fulfillment: People will see that people that live
and give are happier than them, more fulfilled than them, and they will
want to be like them. This will motivate them to make more money, so
they can give it to others and be fulfilled also. Giving will spread
naturally because of the happiness it creates.

When we do what is necessary to make ourselves spiritual beings, we
are helping others to become spiritual beings at the same time, and vice
versa. When we act like animals, it turns other people into animals.

We reap what we sow, as the Bible says. The Bible was not talking
about money.

The Bible says, "The lord is our shepherd; we shall not want."

In other words, when you know the truth and live in the life, you do not
want anything you do not have. God/life gives you everything you need
and want.

An animal is always thinking about how they can help themselves.
A spiritual being thinks the same thing, only they know that
helping others is how to help themselves.

A spiritual being helps others, because life is perfect for them, and they
do not need any help.

Actually spiritual beings do not think about it at all; they just do it
automatically. It's a fundamentally different way of looking at and living life.

Giving does more for the giver than the receiver, a lot more.

Help yourself: Giving is about helping yourself, not the people you give
to. You can help them with money and show them the way, but you
cannot save them. They have to learn the truth and save themselves
like everyone else.

We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill

If you see the fork in the road and take it, it will change everything in
your life and show others the way, and they will eventually follow.

181

www.truthcontest.com

other people will want to be like us, because we are happy all
the time.

No direct giving: This does not mean you do people's laundry or paint
their house for free. That does not work. People are not ready for that
type of giving or receiving; it just brings out the worst in people. You
have to give indirectly.

You never let people use your house or car or other personal things,
because it will lead to trouble. You never let people mooch off you or
take advantage of you.

The only thing you give is your money and your life, and the only reason
you give money and life is because you really have more than you
need. You never give the money directly, but you always give the
life directly.

It is not good to give material things to others directly for the same
reason you do not tell them the truth directly. It does not work. It is best
to give money anonymously and give the truth by giving this book,
because it just works better.

Naturally, you help people directly in emergencies and other special
situations, but you never have to risk your own well-being to do it. The
life of someone else is no more important than your own life, but if you
do give your life helping others, it is the best way to go for
many reasons.

The way most people will help other people is through their job or
profession or by giving them the money they make, but do not need or
even want.

You can directly help out family and friends, but even that can lead
to trouble.

The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in
what he is able to receive. Albert Einstein

Two thousand dollars, or whatever amount provides a decent middle
class life. It will have to be more or less depending on the situation. If
everyone in America that lives on more than two thousand dollars a
month committed to living on two thousand dollars a month or less, we
could turn this world into a paradise.

182

www.truthcontest.com

Jesus said, freely ye have received, freely give.

We should start with America, and when we get it working right, help the
rest of the world do it. The goal would be to get every working
household two thousand a month. If you make more, you give it to
someone that makes less.

Underdog: In the movies, the hero always helps the underdog; it is that
way in real life too. It is the way to be the hero in movies and the way to
get to heaven in real life.

How to be the best a human being can be is pretty obvious.

Bums: The fear is that some people will not work at all, and a few
people will be supporting a bunch of bums. This is why you give it to low
paid, working people.

Everyone who works a forty hour week should be able to live a
middle class life. People doing God's will do what they can to
make that happen.

Control: You do not use the money to control people, and some people
will take advantage of it at first, but so what? You are doing it for
yourself. People have to save themselves, and they eventually will.
When people learn the truth, they will want to work, and people with
more than they need will want to give.

Want to work: When people learn the truth, they will want to work,
because they will want to help other people; it will fulfill them when they
do it.

People that live in the mind work from a position of fear; spiritual people
work from a position of love. It is a fundamentally different way of
looking at work. When you go to work in the morning, you are not
thinking about how much money you can make for yourself; you are
thinking about how much you can do to make other peoples' lives
better. The money you earn is just a byproduct of what you do to help
others. The more you do to help, the more fulfilled you are.

Spiritual beings do not work because they have to; they work
because they want to. It is in a spiritual being's nature to make
things better.

183

www.truthcontest.com

We will also have a few rules to receive the money, such as; everyone
that Is physically able to work would have to work to receive the two
thousand. Those that are healthy enough to do work will work, or they
will receive just the bare minimum to live on, kind of like today's welfare.

Low income families: You just supplement the income of families that
have low paying jobs. It does not matter what they do, so long as they
do something. You start by just helping low income, working families. In
this way, you help children. You make it possible for the mother to not
have to work, so she can raise her children full time. We should pay
mothers to stay home and run a family; it is that important, and it is as
real a job as any job and as important a job as any job.

The way it is now, there is not much incentive for poor people to work,
because minimum wage will not change their life much. Two thousand
will, so more people will want to work, even if it is just a minimum wage
job. People that know the truth will want to work if they can without
exception. They will love their work as much as they love everything
else. They may just have a low paying job.

Anonymously: All giving and receiving should be done anonymously if
possible for the reasons previously mentioned. If people know you are
giving money away, you will get unwanted attention from people that will
want money from you. People receiving money from you will treat you
differently if they know, so everything should be done anonymously.

They won't be after your money if you live like you don't have much.

You can form a foundation. Call it the foundation for financial equality,
and use it to give anonymously. You would get a tax break, so you
would have even more to give. I see thousands of these foundations
forming all over America once the truth is known. The two thousand
may need to be adjusted up or down for inflation.

It is easy to give our tax money to take care of our old people, because
we know we are going to be them soon. If we do not become spiritual
beings, we will be poor soon also, so we should look at the poor the
same as we do old people.

If you own a business, you can just start paying your low paid
employees more. This will make them more productive and loyal. You
could also just lower the costs of your products or services to save
money for everyone that uses them. This will bring you more business,
and it will save advertising expenses. This would also begin to reverse
inflation. There are many ways to give and many ways to benefit.

All business should have a fair profit and ownership sharing program
with their employees. This way, everyone is working for themselves and
the business. It is good for the business and good for the people
working for the business. You can give to family and friends or complete
strangers; it does not matter. Just give away any money you do not
need as fast as you can, because it helps you when you do it. It helps
get you on the spiritual path, the path to paradise.

Jesus said, "If you have money, do not lend it at interest, but rather
give to one from whom you will not get it back."

Spiritual beings would do it. You can live well at the two-thousand dollar
level. Someone that knows the truth will know that anything more is hurting
themselves and everyone else. I live on much less, and no one lives
better than I do.

There really is more than enough to go around.

The only problem is that it is under the control of the beast, and the
beast does not like to share and is not very fair.

Jesus said, "Get rid of your financial wealth, and come follow me."

A spiritual being just needs clean air and water, food, shelter, a few
other things, and not much else. This is because a spiritual being has
the present, and it gives them everything, especially love. You need just
enough physical things to take care of your physical self; you need to
get by and no more. It is that simple.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Henry David Thoreau

It is nice to have an expensive new car and swimming pool, but you
have to ask yourself; is it worth sacrificing heaven for? It is not, and that
is why when the truth is known, people will gladly give needy people
what they do not really need.

Voluntarily: The rich have to give voluntarily, or it will not work. The
government may help redistribute the wealth in the future to make it
easier, but not until the truth is known, and the world has changed. No
one will be forced to give.

185

www.truthcontest.com

Free and fair: If the rich have to be forced to give up their wealth, it will
mean the rich do not know the truth, and if they do not, we have to keep
working on defining it so that they will understand it. The rich have to
know the truth for the world to become a heaven. The world has to be
free, and there must be equality. There is no other way. The rich are the
people that are in power, and if they cannot see the truth, we are all
doomed, including them, so they have no choice.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world
will know peace. Move over Rover, and let God take over.

After we create a heaven on earth and everyone has the necessities of
life, we can start having non-essential extras, but not until then, and only
a few things.

Teach to fish: There is a saying; "If you give a man a fish, you feed him
for a day. If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." It is true,
and it is what we want to do. We help everyone help themselves, just as
God/life does.

Our goal should be to make the world as productive as we are in
ten years.

We do not just want to give money; we want to invest money in people.
We want to help make them self-sufficient and productive. This will
help everyone.

Share technology: We make everyone on Earth as productive as us by
sharing our technology with other people. Millions of people are still
farming like we did a thousand years ago. Everyone should have the
same efficient and productive equipment we do. We do the same for
clean, renewable energy production. The wealthier we make others, the
wealthier we will make ourselves, physically and spiritually. Naturally,
they pay us a fair price for what we provide them, but what we give
them makes them the money to pay us. We do not want to make them
like us; we want to make them as productive and self-sufficient as
possible within their own culture and desired lifestyle.

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are
not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the
elevation of mankind. Henry David Thoreau

186

www.truthcontest.com

Enough: When you have enough money to eat and be comfortable, you

have enough. It does not get better than that, no matter how much you
spend, so anything more is a waste. If you know the truth, you have the
only true security.

The only real security is knowing the truth and living the life.

The basics: Everyone should have a small, clean and comfortable
place to live, with climate control, a bed, table and chairs, sink, shower,
toilet, refrigerator, microwave, stove, TV, internet, transportation,
telephone, a small closet of essential clothes (women have more than
men), medicine, and enough food to eat. Naturally, you personalize your
abode to suit your tastes.

Spiritual people are low maintenance people; they just want
the basics.

When everyone has the basics, we can have more things, but not until
then. The only extra things you should have are things for work, such as
tools, etc.

If you have the basics, you have more than ninety percent of
mankind.

More than three-hundred million children do not own a pair of shoes.
Three children die every second because they do not have clean
water. One in seven people are refugees or living in unsanitary slum
shantytowns. These people are easy to recruit into fanatical terrorist
organizations.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.
Henry David Thoreau

Once you know the truth and the life, you are happy and fulfilled even
without most of the basics, so you really do not need or want
anything more.

As Biggie Smalls said, "Mo money means mo problems."

We cannot even think about having any extras until everyone has
the basics.

187

www.truthcontest.com

We are spending too much money on non-necessities, and it will
kill us.

Tight ship: Nature runs a tight ship; there is no place for the
unnecessary. A species cannot live long while putting a lot of its efforts
into non-essentials.

Mankind wastes at least 99% of what is given to us. When the truth
is seen, we will turn it around and use at least 99%, and earth will
become a heaven.

Where else in nature are there any extras or non-essentials? They do
not exist, because nature will not let them exist long. Only mankind
wastes things.

Nature is very unforgiving if something tries to break its rules.

The goal is to have financial security, but at no more than the two-
thousand dollar a month level. It will be adjusted for inflation to suit the
times and place, but in the future, there will be no inflation. You pay
yourself from your own foundation. Your goal is to make more money,
but just so you have more to give.

Security comes from what you know, not what you have.

Spiritual beings that make a lot of money will move into middle class
areas to save money. The more money they can save, the more they
have to give.

It is more fun living in middle class neighborhoods than upper class or
rich neighborhoods anyway, because people are more social with each
other. People hangout in their garages and work on hotrods and other
hobbies, have barbeques, and play cards and other games at each
others' houses. Spiritual people just enjoy friends, family, a few toys and
life itself.

All of that simple stuff that does not require much thinking is big fun for
spiritual people. Spiritual people like to play and really get into life's
simple pleasures. You cannot do a lot of things without money, so you
do not do those things. You have more fun doing the millions of things
you can do that do not cost much money.

You may be thinking this will hurt our economy, but the opposite is
true. Our economy will grow rebuilding our country and the rest of
the world.

Living is great wlierever you live if you l<now tine trutli and tine life. If you
do not, it is not very good, no matter where you live or what you do. The
truth and the life is the key to the good life and true success, now
and forever.

The simple life is the greatest life possible, but only if you know the
ultimate truth.

The Bible says, "Show your moderation to all men."

It also says, "If you are a man of great appetite, you should cut
your throat."

It also says, "Pride is a sin."

It also says, "We are our brother's keeper."

It says it indirectly in Genesis. Cain asks, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
We need to answer that question now. We are our brother's keeper if
we want to go to heaven or create one here on Earth, and we do.
Spiritual beings do not worry about whether or not someone deserves
their money. They give unconditionally to people who are trying their
best. If people need it and you have it, you give it.

You do not give it to anyone that is addicted to drugs. A drug test should
be required from people receiving money. This will encourage people to
give up drugs, and you do not want to support a non-productive,
destructive lifestyle. The key is everyone receiving the extra money will
have to be working if they can work, and doing their best, so you will be
helping productive people, not bums.

These same foundations will offer free education and training to the
people they are helping, to give them the opportunity to get better,
higher paying jobs. One or two people doing this will not help society
much, but it will help the people they give to, and it will help themselves
spiritually, and that is all that matters.

Naturally help others. Only a life in the service of others is worth
living. Albert Einstein

189

www.truthcontest.com

All that matters is that you get on the spiritual path. Get your ticket to
heaven; that is your only job. Others will have to save themselves
spiritually. You can help people physically, but they have to save
themselves spiritually. You can shine the light their way, but they have
to be able to see it. Prophets can bend the branch down, but people
have to see and pick the fruit themselves.

Lead a horse to water: You can help others financially for certain, but
you can only try to help them spiritually by setting the example and
living as a spiritual being and by telling them to go to the Truth Contest
to read this book.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can
free our minds. Redemption Song, Bob Marley

You try your best to help others to know the truth and the life, but you
can only do what you can do. As the saying goes: "you can lead a horse
to water, but you cannot make them drink." Just tell them to look at the
Truth Contest, as it will always have the latest revision of this book.

As more people learn the truth, more will begin to give what they do not
need to others that need it. It will grow at first in our country, and then
the world will begin to change into the paradise it could and should be.

Big Change: I realize that it sounds crazy and like it will not work, but it
has to, or we are dead. It is a big change, but the world needs a big
change now, and the truth can make it happen. Even if it does not work,
we have to try anyway, because trying is what improves our life and
gets us to heaven.

Rainy day: Most people will think, "I may not need the money now, but I
may need it in the future," that they have to save for a rainy day. The
following is what Jesus says about that:

Jesus said, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow; tomorrow will
take care of itself."

In other words, live for today and do not worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will take care of itself, especially if you truly live in the present.

If you are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life, your
reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.
George Bernard Shaw

190

www.truthcontest.com

You do things for the future while you are in the present. It is not like you do
not know the future is going to happen; you know it better than anyone, and
what you do in the present automatically gets you ready for the future.

It is not as if you do not think at all. There is a time for thinking and
a time for not thinking.

Smart life: People think all the time now, but they will find that if they
think just ten percent of the time, it will be more than enough. Not
thinking lets you know the true situation better, because you are more
aware of life.

It gives you an edge over people that think all the time, because they
are less aware of the true situation. Knowing the true situation helps
your life much more than thinking one-hundred percent of the time and
not knowing the true situation. You will also receive a lot more
inspiration and be more creative.

You have to not think in order to know the true situation. You can
only see it clearly when you are not thinking; it is essential to live a
successful life.

Take care of business: You do not have to think about the future all

the time, just when it matters and when it will make a difference. A
spiritual person will know when to think and when to live. You will
eventually be able to live ninety percent of your life, and that is a lot
more than you are living now.

People that live in the present will all have perfect credit, because they
take care of business, and their word really is their bond. Spiritual
people will never get into debt that they cannot pay to start with.

Spiritual beings are very frugal and conservative with the money that
they spend on themselves. They will always live below their means.

Money represents work. If you make fifty thousand a year, when
you spend fifty thousand dollars, you trade a full year of work for
what you bought.

Debt: Getting in debt and living beyond your means is a trick of the

mind to keep you in a position where the mind is necessary. It tries to
keep you behind the eight ball, so you have to constantly think and
worry. Do not play any of the mind's games. If you do, you will never be
fulfilled or get to heaven.

191

www.truthcontest.com

Instead of thinking of wliat else you need, think of what else you can
live without.

The smaller you live financially, the larger you can live spiritually.

What people think: One of the big reasons people are in the money rat
race is that they care what other people think of them. Why does it
matter what people that do not know the truth think? It is just minds
creating other minds. Misery loves company, as the saying goes.

Great spirits are always opposed by mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein

What is important: One of the keys to fulfillment and everlasting life is
to know what is important and what is not important. Getting rich is not
important, winning is not important, the past is not important. The
present will become the future.

Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will be called sons
of men."

Getting it together: As the saying goes, the important thing is getting
yourself together with God, and you cannot do it if you are rich when
others are poor.

People have to know that the only thing that is important is the truth and
the life, the present. Nothing else matters, because your life is all you
really have.

If you want to be fulfilled now and go to heaven, you cannot care what
the other misguided people in this world think. If you do, you are
misguided also, and you will go down the toilet with them.

Do the right thing, not just the popular thing.

Retirement: People will think that they cannot give the money they do
not need now away, because they need to save for retirement.
Retirement is BS; no one likes not working for long. A person that
knows the truth always works as long as they can. If you know how to
live in the present and can work, you always will.

192

www.truthcontest.com

This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have
anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants
to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we
always think about what we might best give in return.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Spiritual people should and will always work until their health no longer
allows it, even if it is just as a greeter at Wal Mart. If you live in the
present, you will enjoy it more than being the president of the company.

When you cannot do anything productive, do nothing; it is less
expensive.

Do less: Doing things can cost money, so the less you can do to
entertain yourself, the better. Watching TV is cheap, so watch a lot of
TV. Take walks and do other things that do not cost money. A spiritual
being needs nothing to be happy, because they have everything all the
time. They are always where it is at.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt

When your health is gone, money is not going to help you. You are at
the end of your life cycle. It is time to die and start over. If it is all you
can do, just watch TV and play with your pets until the end comes. If
you know how to live in the present, it is a good way to go. If you do not
know the truth and the life, you can spend your last time in your body
learning it.

The government takes care of all sick people without money now, and it
will do it even better in the future, so you have nothing to worry about.

If the truth is not seen and people do not change, there will be no
future to worry about. We have to change for there to be a future
worth living.

When well-to-do people get old and sick, they end up giving all or most of
their money to the hospitals anyway. Forget about the past and the future,
and live in the NOW. It is what Jesus and all true prophets tell you to do,
because it is the only way to truly live and be successful in life.

You will get everything you need.

193

www.truthcontest.com

Checking out: People that do not know the truth will do anything to
survive a little longer, even if they are old and have a terminal disease.
People spend thousands of dollars per day to stay alive using machines
to breathe and anything else technology can do. Many people are now
spending more than they made in their whole lives to fight a losing battle
with old age and death.

There are going to be billions of old dying people for the first time in
history in the next twenty years, and it will bankrupt the world if we try to
drag out everyone's life as long as we can. It is not only financially a
waste, it is also stupid.

Spiritual people will not do that. When they are sure they have an
incurable disease, or their bodies are just too old to live a quality life any
longer, they will end it without all the expense and other BS.

Don't let your sick mind & body give your soul too much of a beating.

Best way to die: No one will intentionally commit suicide, but they will
start using higher and higher doses of heroin and other drugs until they
accidentally overdose and die. The goal will be to feel good, not die.

When the time comes to start checking out, people will announce it to all
their loved ones that they are checking out, and they will start to wrap
up their current life. Then they will essentially start a party that lasts as
long as it takes them to die. It could take months if they want it to.
People they love will come and go, last words will be said, etc.

Not suicide: Their intention will not be to die; it will be to use enough of
the drugs to take away any pain and discomfort, so life will be great until
the amount of drugs needed to do it will kill them. They will die
accidentally, because they will not know exactly when it will happen.
They will administer the drugs themselves and be able to use as much
as they need to feel good. It is the best way to go, and it will be the way
most people will check out in the future.

Only people that do not know the truth and the life will drag out a life in a
body that is at the end of its life cycle. A spiritual person knows where
they are going, and they will look forward to having a new, young,
healthy body, and living in heaven. It will be legal in the future, because
it will save the state money. As Jesus said, don't worry about the
future; just take care of the present.

"The Present - Insights"

Share the Wealth

Take care of now: Over a billion people are going hungry everyday.
Many people are close to starvation, mostly children. Three billion
people have to live on less than two dollars a day. That is almost half
the population of the world. Americans spend more on trash bags than
billions spend on everything they buy.

Money bombs: People have to realize that the better others do, the
better they will do. The more money people have, the more they can
spend on the products we create. This will make us wealthier, and our
enemies friends. Instead of spending billions hurting and killing people,
we should drop the money used to make the bombs from airplanes,
money bombs. As Abraham Lincoln said, the best way to defeat a
enemy is to make a friend out of them.

Poverty leads to ignorance, war, crime, corruption, drug abuse, flu
pandemics, plagues, dangerous fanatics, and all sorts of other negative
things that will hurt and kill you and your children in the near future.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save
the few who are rich. John Kennedy

Poverty forces people to live like animals, which creates fanatics.
Animals bite, and now they can bite with nuclear and biological
weapons.

The rich can no longer escape what is happening in the world. They
could to a degree in the past, but not anymore. People who live on more
than they need to are drinking their children's blood. They are killing
their offspring and descendents with the expensive, selfish, wasteful,
polluting and unsatisfying way they are living now. They are dooming
their children, themselves, and the world.

People are living unconsciously, but are not conscious enough to
know it.

Living the way people are now will destroy the environment and kill
everyone. A spiritual being will never do anything that hurts the
environment just to make money. They will know that it is not worth it.
They will walk lightly on the earth.

195

www.truthcontest.com

Give it away: When rich and well to do people learn the truth, they will
realize that giving away their wealth to help others is the best thing they
can do for themselves.

IVIake as much money as you can; just do not spend it on yourself.

You will not need it: You still spend money to make money and build
your business. You just do not spend it on yourself, because you will no
longer need to in order to be happy. This will make businesses grow
faster and be more successful. A spiritual being is happier not spending
money on themselves, which is the opposite of people that live as
their minds.

The more money you make, the more money you will have to give.

Making money is always good if you make it fairly. Do not hurt anyone
or anything, and do not spend it on yourself, except for necessities. You
still make as much as you can; you just give away what you do not
really need.

I realize I am being more repetitive than usual, but this section
needs it.

You have to do something with your life, and making money to give
away is one of the most righteous things you can do. The world is set up
to do it, so people should do it the best that they can. The more you
have, the more you can give.

Many people can live true life and make big money once they see
the truth.

The capitalistic, free market system and way of life should not change;
we should get even better at it. It is what we do with the money we
make that will make the big difference. With the truth, America can
double its wealth in a few years.

People that are good at making money and are in a good position to do
it should do it to help those that are not; this is all that needs to happen
to create a heaven on Earth. People who make luxuries will have to
start making necessities.

Instead of people striving to see how much they can make and spend,
they should be striving to see how much they can make and give to the
less fortunate.

196

www.truthcontest.com

When you begin to see yourself in other people, it makes
giving easy.

A spiritual being truly sees other people as if they were them, so it
makes the giving easy. Spiritual beings also know that if not for the
grace of God, it would be them that are in need, and divine justice will
make it this way for them in the future.

Spiritual people look past people's minds and see other people
as spirits.

Rich and well to do people should just try it for five years and see how it
goes. If it does not work out, they can go back to giving their money
to themselves.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again
be seen as the last, best hope of Earth. Abraham Lincoln

America is the hope of the world: We should start with America, and
show the rest of the world how to do it. If we do it, everyone else will
follow our lead.

We do not want China, India, and the other third world countries to
become societies of conspicuous consumption, a gluttonous, wasteful
society like us. The environment will not be able to take it. The human
race cannot survive it.

America is almost destroying the environment by itself; imagine what
will happen if the other six and a half billion people on the planet try to
live like us. It is impossible for it to happen, yet that is what everyone is
planning to do. They have the same dreams we had a hundred years
ago. In China, only one in eighty families have a car, and they are all
planning on getting one or two. What do you think a billion more cars
will do for our world?

Each American uses an average of twenty five tons of raw materials per
year. Not everyone can do that; it is impossible. We are not walking
lightly on the earth.

Americans spend more on trash bags than billions of people
spend on food.

197

www.truthcontest.com

Pigs: One of the reasons so many people on the planet do not like
Americans is that they see a bunch of pigs that are using up the world's
resources. God put a feast on the table, more than enough for
everyone, and America came like a big bully, grabbed most of it, and
just left the scraps for the rest of the human race. It is not completely
true, but that is how it looks to the poor, and that is all that matters.
Remember, it is perception that controls thought and actions.

When people watch our news, they see celebrities walking down the red
carpet, dripping in diamonds and wearing ten-thousand dollar dresses.

Selling death: We are selling world destruction. Our dreams of a
hundred years ago came true. Most families have two cars, a TV set in
every room, etc. We have to tell others by our actions that it is not that
great, that it does not make you happy, that we were wrong. Right now,
we are selling a lifestyle that will destroy the world. We have to start
selling a lifestyle that will not destroy the world, and we must start soon.

Americans can sell the way to heaven or the way to hell.

As it is, we are telling the world that bigger and more is better, that you
can never have enough "things." We have to show the world we can
give up the "bigger and more" way of life. This will teach the world two
things; bigger is not really better, because if it were, we would not be
giving it up, and that there is something besides getting rich to aspire
too, something better.

Righteousness exalteth a nation. Friedrich Nietzsche

What people really want and need is more truth and life. It is the only
thing the world really needs, because it will change all the other things.

We need to stop selling dreams, and start selling the truth and life.

Big houses: You are probably thinking, "what about all those big
houses that are already built, should we tear them down?" No, but we
should have more than one family living in them, and stop building
them. The truth is, most people that live in big houses live in their
bedrooms and kitchens most of the time anyway. They only use the rest
of the house when company comes over. They will never admit it, but it
is true. It is difficult to feel comfortable in a show house. Big houses can
be spooky. A big house separates families from each other; small
houses bring them together. Medium size is best.

198

www.truthcontest.com

If you want high ceilings and big rooms, go outside; it's free and infinite.

It is the people that live In a house that make a house a home.

A big house with semi-dead people living in it is really a depressing
place. The big house is mostly just for ego purposes, pride of
ownership, as they say in the real estate trade. The Bible says pride
comes before a fall, and it is true.

People that know the truth do not need big "things" to be fulfilled.

When you no longer live as an ego, you will have nothing to prove and
not like big houses or other showy stuff. People that use showy things to
attract other people attract other people that need "things" to be happy,
so they are asking for trouble.

Spiritual people like each others' company, so they will want to share a
big house and live together anyway. Spiritual people are fun, and you
really cannot get enough of their company. Whole extended families can
live in big houses. It is hard to believe from the mind's perspective, but it
is true. Just as children like to have someone around to play with,
spiritual beings like to have other spiritual beings around to share the
present. It would be difficult for people on an animal level to live
together, because they cannot be trusted and will cause trouble; it is in
their nature.

Only people that know the truth and are living the life can successfully
share something as personal as a house. People that live in the mind
have a hard time doing it, so you have to be selective as to who you get
that close to.

Homes in nice locations will be traded with those in bad places every so
often. People just move every year or so, so the good locations are
shared. Moving around will be more fair and more fun. People will be
meeting new people.

People are not only Ignoring the less fortunate, they are ignoring the
nature of the universe they live in. It clearly shows everything will
balance in time. It is better to give up your wealth than to have the
universe take it from you.

199

www.truthcontest.com

Jesus said: Those who do the will of God now will enter heaven.

It is going to liappen anyway. Tine will of God is to balance everything,
so we just do not wait for God to do it, wait for death to balance things.
We start doing God's will here and now. When we do God's will, we
become God-like, and the world becomes a heaven here and now. It is
that simple.

As the Bible says, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

It is the key to everything. You just do God's will in everything you do.
An easy way is just to think what would Jesus would do in any given
situation. See everyone as yourself and treat them like you would want
to be treated, and also spread the truth on the Internet until everyone
knows it.

Mansions in heaven: Jesus would never have said that there are
mansions waiting for us in heaven. It contradicts the rest of his
teachings. Someone that wanted to sell heaven to people that live in the
mind made that one up. Only egotistical beings that live in the animal
mind would want to live in a mansion.

No one should have more than one house until everyone in the world has
at least one. An empty house, even empty rooms, are a travesty when
there are so many homeless people living on the streets. If you have a
vacation house, you cannot leave it empty for long periods of time. You will
have to rent it, let people use it for free, or sell it to someone that will.

People will be more fulfilled if they do this, no matter what they
think now.

No empty house: Right now, there are millions of empty houses
because of the foreclosures in America. They should be rented cheap
with a lease option available to buy the house for what it is worth, with a
low-interest mortgage.

Speculators: Speculators have pushed up the price of real estate and
stocks and everything else. That is called the free market. The problem
is, it does not work. It makes things cost more than they are really
worth, and this leads to disaster as we can now see happening in the
USA. We need the government to step into the free market and not let
anything cost more than it is really worth, no matter how many people
are willing to pay more for it.

A house is worth what it costs to build, and no more. Anything more is a
delusion and leads to crashes in the marl<et. It is the same with the
stock market. There is a simple formula to set a price on any company's
real worth. It is not worth more, no matter how many speculators will
pay more. That leads to a crash and chaos.

Everyone is talking about sub-prime loans as the problem, when the
real problem is that the houses and loans cost more than they are
worth. Everyone is talking about derivatives and selling short in the
stock market as the problem, when it is the stocks that are over-priced
because of speculators manipulating the price.

We need a system based on truth, not BS as we have now. Until
people wake up to the truth and we conquer greed, we have to control
the markets.

God's work: When you start to help things balance, you start doing the
work of God. You can help create balance or help create imbalance.

The Bible says, "Whoever does God's will shall abide in
heaven forever."

A spiritual being naturally works to create balance, truth, and equality in
everything, which creates more spiritual people and more balance. The
mind naturally works to create imbalance which leads to conflicts that
create more imbalance. The Bible says that you have to do God's work
to know God.

You are part of the solution, or you are part of the problem.

Wasteful: In addition to sharing the wealth, we need to stop being so
wasteful, and strive to recycle everything we use. We avoid using things
that cannot be or are not being recycled. Spiritual beings will not do
anything that hurts the environment. It will come natural to them to live
this way.

People that drive around in big powerful SUVs are not running them on
gas; they are running them on the blood of their children. It is an ugly
analogy, but it is true, and there is nothing uglier than killing our children
and our children's children just to look cool, drive too fast, and have a
false sense of power.

Why do we even have cars that will go more than seventy miles an
hour? That is the fastest you can legally drive. Car companies are
always selling how powerful and fast their cars are, which is ridiculous.
Why are car companies encouraging people to break the law? We
should pass a law that says "no new car manufactured and sold in
America can go faster than the highest legal speed limit." Collector cars
will be exempt and not for everyday driving. It will save fuel, lives, and
our environment. Spiritual people like to go slow and enjoy the trip. Fast
is just for the racetrack. Race cars and tracks should be available to
everyone that wants to go fast.

I do not know if cars and trucks are causing global warming. Even
if they do not, you still should not use more energy than you need to.
Nature punishes anything that takes advantage of it. Use only what you
really need, and no more.

As people become more spiritual and see the truth, they will drive
more fuel-efficient vehicles that use renewable and clean fuels for
many reasons.

People that keep driving big, fast cars will just look like the ignorant,
foolish people that they are. Bigger is not better once you know the
truth. It is a mental problem.

Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these
have always been contemptible. Albert Einstein

In the future, most people will not travel much. They will live close to
where they work, and they will find that they do not have to or want to
travel much. Kids do not travel much outside their neighborhoods, and
they are more fulfilled than the adults that run all over the place.

Most people that travel for pleasure do it because new places make
them more alive. When you see where you live as new, you no longer
have the need to travel. Life always comes to you; you never have to
go anywhere to be fulfilled.

Not traveling as much will do more for the environment than anything
else. When people stop chasing the horizon and discover what they
want is where they are already, life will slow down, and the world will
begin changing into the paradise it should be and could be. More people
will work at home or close to home.

Most selling and information services can be done from home.

Many jobs that are now done in expensive offices will start working at
least a few days a week from home. Many things that can be done on
the phone or computers and the Internet should be done from home.
Old and disabled people should get first choice for government jobs that
can be done from home, and work as much or as little as they can. This
will save billions of dollars.

If a person can work just one hour a day answering the phone, they
should be able to do it and be paid for it. After the hour is up, they push
a few buttons and transfer the line to someone else, who would start
answering the phone in their own home. This can also be done with
computers, which makes it possible for everyone to work, even disabled
people. It will add billions to our economy.

We should get everyone that can work, working. This will get more
productivity into the economy while lowering the cost of welfare. It will
also save energy, relieve the traffic problems, and give families much
more time together.

Traveling is what is going to spread a fatal disease around the world
before we can cure it. We have to start limiting the amount we travel
until we have the ability to cure the plagues and pandemics that are
sure to come soon.

Collective toy box: Spiritual people share their toys. All expensive and
rare toys such as great cars and boats should be owned and maintained
by the government (all of us) and shared with everyone. You could
check something out for the weekend or week. If something is popular,
we make more of them. If someone misuses the toys or does not bring
them back on time, they lose their toy box privileges. We could do the
same with expensive resorts and other things that only the rich have
access to now.

We have a toy box in every town and city, and we move the things in
them around, so they are always different, and everyone gets to use
everything. We can and will have to share the entire world with
everyone if we want to have a world that will last and be fulfilling to live
in. It is what heaven will be like. We have to work to create it on Earth to
go there after we die.

203

www.truthcontest.com

As John Lennon said in the song Imagine: "Imagine all the people
sharing all the world."

It is the way it should be and needs to be if we want to survive and
thrive now and go to heaven or create a heaven on Earth.

The toy box will be used as an incentive for people to work more and do jobs
that no one wants to do. The harder or more undesirable jobs you do, the
more access to the toy box you have. A fair system could be worked out.

The toy box will be mainly just for people that have not learned the truth,
because spiritual people really do not need expensive toys to be happy.
Spiritual people can take or leave toys, so they will let people in
transition have them. Do not get me wrong, toys are fun even to spiritual
people, and when everyone knows the truth, we will still have them and
use them, but they will not be the big deal they are now.

Luxury is the wolf at the door, and its fangs are the vanities and
conceits germinated by success. Tennessee Williams

The simple life is the only way to truly live, because God/life is simple. Our
minds just make everything complicated, because it justifies the mind's
existence. The more complicated your life is, the more the mind is needed to
manage it, so the mind just naturally tries to make your life more complicated.

We do not need anymore food for thought; we need food for
the spirit.

The path to abundant life: The more simple your life is, the less you
have to think. The less you think, the more you live. The more you live,
the more you know. The more you know, the less you have to think. You
just have to get the ball rolling, and it will roll you all the way to heaven.

It is easy to give away money. It makes all of life easier, more
productive and less wasteful, and most importantly, you can live in the
present more easily.

Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. Its nine-tenths of the
problem. John Lennon

Many people only use twenty percent of the possessions they have, so
give away what you do not use to others that have less. Have a garage
give-away.

204

Jesus said, "Travel lightly; have only what you need and no more."

Not fun: It does not sound like much fun, does it? This is because you
live in the mind. It would not be fun for people that live in the mind; that
is why people do what they are doing now. To enjoy it, to be fulfilled by
living the simple life, you have to change into a spiritual being. Only
spiritual beings would enjoy doing it.

Jesus said, "I am poor, but I have everything."

The things I am talking about will only work and be enjoyable if we make
the change into spiritual beings. If we do, it will work easily, and we will
love doing it.

It is the opposite factor again. What people think will make them
happy actually makes them unhappy. Thus, a spiritual person
turns it around.

Peace and contentment: I am not talking about peace and
contentment; who really wants that? I am talking about true happiness,
absolute fulfillment, the best way you can feel, better than a cocaine
high, no lie. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that being completely
open to the truth and life and living in the present feels like a drug high. I
am saying it feels better than any drug high.

You can live happily without "things" if you also live without
the mind.

Self-sacrifice: In the past, people that gave their money and their time
had to be self-sacrificing to do it. They had to lose something to give
something. I am not saying they did not get anything; they got the
satisfaction of helping others. They liked giving, or they would not have
done it, but they did it for the wrong reasons, so it did not help as much
as it could have. You have to know the truth to have the right reason,
and almost no one could know the truth until now. Self-sacrificing
behavior is not what I am advocating. That is what giving was before the
truth could be known, and it actually did not really help much, if any.

Self-sacrifice actually helps no one.

205

www.truthcontest.com

If someone has to lose something for someone else to get something,
no one really gets anything. It is a positive and a negative, and they
cancel each other out. For one to get something, they both have to. The
giver has to receive as much or more than the receiver for it to be of
true benefit. When you know the truth, the giver is not making any
sacrifice at all, because they get more than they give. This how it has to
be for giving to really be of benefit. When you know the truth, you do
things for others, because it is the way you can do the most for yourself.
The truth makes this possible for the first time.

God asks for no sacrifice from anyone. God asks for win-win in
all things.

Religion has not understood this, so many people have sacrificed in
vain. The animal world needs someone to lose for someone to win;
someone has to give up something for someone to have something. If
you take it to the extreme, someone has to die for someone to live. This
is why we want to get out of the animal realm; you cannot really win in it.
In the spiritual realm, the opposite is true, and you cannot really lose.

In the animal realm, it is death that creates life. In the spiritual realm, it
is life that creates life. This is what Jesus means when he says "you will
not taste death." When you know the truth, everything is a positive,
everything is life.

Without the truth, giving is a great sacrifice. With the truth, giving
is a great gift to the giver.

Most people love humanity; it is people that they cannot stand.
John Lennon

As it is now, most people really do not like most other people, and they
couldn't care less what happens to them. They certainly do not care
enough to give up their lifestyles. This is how the mind of the beast sees
things, but after people understand the ultimate truth, they will change
themselves and their ways.

Starving to death: Over eight-hundred million people do not have
enough food, and they go to bed hungry. Eighteen million children
starve to death every year. Try to picture these starving children as your
own children, or your brother or sister. The truth is, they are just like
them. You would stop it if it were your own children, wouldn't you?
Spiritual people will see them truly, and they will stop it.

206

www.truthcontest.com

You can't help or hurt anyone else, but you can help or hurt yourself.

Cannot help anyone except yourself: The life of all living things is
balanced, so the truth is, you cannot really help or hurt anyone else in a
physical way, but you can help or hurt yourself spiritually. It sounds cold
and selfish, but it is the truth, and a spiritual being always sees the truth.
It is actually the exact opposite of cold and selfish. The only thing you
can do is live in the truth and life yourself. A by-product of doing it is
helping others. It is just the spiritual way of life.

Everyone does what is in their own self-interest, including spiritual
beings. When you help others, you are doing the work of a spiritual
being. It makes you more fulfilled as you do it, and it moves you along
the path to heaven.

When you serve others, you serve yourself at the same time.

Bottom line: You give simply because you do not need it. If you need it,
you would not give it away. The bottom line is, spiritual people are more
fulfilled living with just the basics. They will always give away anything
extra they earn, because they really do not want it; it complicates their
life and brings them down. They would throw it away or burn it if there
was no one to give it to.

When you help others, you help yourself at the same time. When
you screw others, you screw yourself at the same time, and that is
the truth.

It is a fundamental and absolute law of nature. When people learn it, the
world will change, and not until. When people learn it, self-interest will
save us.

The chicken or the egg: People think, what comes first, the chicken or
the egg? Do you get spiritual first and then become simple, or do you
become simple and then become spiritual? The truth is, you have to do
them both at the same time to do them at all for any length of time.
Sometimes you can only do one or the other, but your intent is to always
do both, be both. Just dive into life; it will work.

Cup runith over: A spiritual being is fulfilled by every moment of life.
Their life overflows, and they give any extra to others that have less; it is
that simple.

We have to acknowledge that the way people live now isn't working.

As long as we have war, poverty, crime, injustice and ignorance, it is not
worl<ing. We are spending more money on prisons tlian scliools. People
are working more and more, buying more and more, getting more and
more in debt, and they are getting less and less fulfilled. The good life
does not mean more goods.

Progress and success is not measured in things, but in fulfillment.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier and more fulfilling, and
it is actually doing the opposite. People now work much more than they
had to in the last generation, and are even less fulfilled. People's lives
are flying by so fast that they are missing most of it. It is mass insanity.

The American dream is turning into a nightmare.

In the last generation, both adults in a family did not have to work to
make ends meet. In the last generation, divorce did not end more than
half of all marriages. There are more bankruptcies now than people
graduating from college. Americans average six hours a week shopping,
but only forty minutes talking with their kids. We are not seen by our
government as people, just consumers. Depression is up, fulfillment is
down. I could go on and on. It is obvious that we are going the wrong
way. We have to do the exact opposite of what we are doing, and we
have to realize it soon and turn it around, or it will be too late.

Nature will kill you just for not paying attention.

I quote and reference Jesus over five hundred times: I am not the
first to point out that things are not working, but I am the first one that is
clarifying what the real solution is. Jesus is telling you the solution to the
problem. He said what I am saying now two thousand years ago.

Do not believe me: If you do not believe me, believe Jesus, Nietzsche,
Einstein and the other prophets, philosophers and poets I quote in this
book. I do not have any credibility, but they do. Just check it out for
yourself. The truth is self-evident.

The truth will get people out of the rat race and into the human race.

In the past, people could not know what worked and what did not work,
because their knowledge was limited to their local area. They would
believe something was working somewhere, when it really was not
working anywhere.

Now, thanks to worldwide communication, we can know for certain that
nothing is really working anywhere. Take-take does not work. Take-give
will work. We can no longer be deceived by things people claim to work,
but do not. We now know what is happening, and this gives us the
power to make the necessary changes.

People will change, because there is really no choice; we have to do it
to survive and thrive. The big problem is that people are not going to
know they will like it better until after they learn the truth, so it will be
difficult at first.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein

Giving to yourself: The key is to understand what giving is. You are
not doing it just for the people you are giving to, you are doing it for
yourself, your children and the other people you love.

It is in giving that we receive. Matthew 2:35

People may not love other people enough to give to others, but they
love their children and their own life enough to do it; this is why it
will happen.

The most powerful motivating factor will be self-interest. As the truth is
learned, conspicuous consumption will no longer impress people; it will
make people that do it unattractive. In the future, showing wealth and
power will be embarrassing.

As long as children are starving, showing off wealth will look stupid.

Anyone that needs a lot to be happy will look weak and stupid in the
near future. People that are into showing off with conspicuous
consumption will be shamed into changing their ways. The truth will
change people's values.

The worm will turn: The truth is going to mal<e the worm turn.
Everything will turn upside down, and what used to make someone look
strong and smart will do the opposite.

It will be a sign of stupidity to wear a ten-thousand dollar watch.

The age of twenty-thousand dollar lamps, million dollar works of art, ten-
thousand dollar dresses and five-hundred dollar shoes is about to end.
Pretension has to die, or we all will. Big spenders will have to go the
way of the dinosaurs, or the human race will. That party is over, and
another, better one is starting.

When the truth is revealed, self-interest will power the change.

The rich get richer: The rich will always get richer. That is the law of
the jungle. The strong eat and get stronger. The weak do not eat, and
as a result, get weaker.

It will only change when the rich realize that they do not want to live in a
jungle any longer. When the rich learn the truth and learn that being rich
is no longer in their best interest, the world will begin to change into the
paradise it should be.

Used religion: In the past, the rich just used religions to keep the poor
under control. They never believed in it themselves, because it did not
make sense. It does now, so things will change. There will be real
moral values now.

Money is not everything; the truth and the life is everything.
You choose.

Jesus said, "I am poor, but I have everything."

He did, because he had the truth and the life, and that is everything.

Self-interest: Everyone acts in their own self-interest. When people
change their perspective from their minds to their spirits, their self-
interest will change, and so will the world. Even the rich are beginning
to see that things have to change.

As long as there are the "haves" and "have nots" and ignorance of the
truth, the beast will rule this world, and you and your loved ones will
have to live in it.

The truth is, no one wants that, not even the rich. True or false?

Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the Gods.
Socrates

Things: Your mind is trying to substitute what you really want and need,
true life, for things. When you first get "things," they make you feel
happy by giving you a little true life, but it wears off fast and becomes
a trap.

Used to things: I had a lot of great things. I had the best view in Long
Beach for many years. I lived right on the beach at the best possible
place, not second best, the absolute best. I had a balcony on the
second story and big picture windows. I sat out there in the warm
California sun with a brandy and coke. I was in the best physical
position a person into material things could get.

The first year or so, I was sitting on that balcony all the time. As time
went on, the less I went out there or even looked out of the
picture windows.

I drove a Rolls Royce and many other classic and rare cars. I had over
thirty exotic cars and hotrods. I owned an exotic and classic car
dealership in the eighties. Many great cars passed through there, and I
drove what I wanted to.

You not only get used to them and take them for granted in a very short
period of time, but there are some major downsides to having these
expensive things.

We are lil^e shop windows in which we are continually arranging,
concealing or illuminating the supposed qualities others ascribe to
us - in order to deceive ourselves. Friedrich Nietzsche

The problem with money: What most people do not know is there is
not that much out there to buy that truly makes you happy.

After you have all the ultimate toys, houses, cars, boats, entertainment
center and clothes, there is not much else left to buy that makes you
feel good, even for a little while.

"Things" can wake you up, but after awhile, they put you in a
deeper sleep.

211

www.truthcontest.com

You get used to everything that money can buy amazingly fast. After
driving the Rolls around for a while, it was just like any car to me, worse
in a lot of ways.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes
happiness. Charles Haddon Spurgeon

You never run out of things to buy and spend money on, but you do run
out of things that will make you happy, even for a little while. Then you
just have a bunch of expensive toys that no longer fulfill you and trap
you in a false life.

I know I am hammering it in, and it bugs you, but repetition is
necessary to transform your mind, and as I said, this book is not
for entertainment.

Every person that gets what they dreamed of having finds this truth.
Now you are back where you started, unfulfilled, but now you no longer
even have the dream to look forward to. Then you just fake it, so
everyone else thinks your life is better than theirs. It is sick, but it is true.

Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche

You cannot say you are unhappy when you are rich, because people
will think, "What is he complaining about? He should trade places
with me."

Money makes you dishonest in many ways, and one of them is that you
have to act like a person with money acts. They have to act like they are
fulfilled and have more than money.

Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things
to get himself envied. Mark Twain

The rich and the famous are in the illusion business. Many actually do it
for a living (show business), but all are "putting on airs" as they say.
There are exceptions, but not many. Almost no one will admit that it is
not that great.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who
want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm, but the harm
does not interest them. T.S. Eliot

212

www.truthcontest.com

Most people need money to feel special and get respect. A spiritual
being has true self-respect and knows they are special, and they do not
need anything.

Money cannot buy happiness for very long, but it can buy misery
that lasts.

Know who your friends are: The worst part is that you can never l<now
who your friends truly are. You have to stop seeing your friends you
knew as a kid, because only people with money can afford to do things
people with money do. Money causes animosity between people that
have it and those that do not have it. You never know who wants to be
your friend for your money or for you. It is a terrible way to live, but you
are in the strongest trap there is and will fight to your last breath to keep
the deception going, even though you are not happy.

The mind really loves to think it is a big shot, a great success, but
it is sick.

Better than you: What is virtuous about even wanting to be superior to
others? It is this kind of thinking that causes all the trouble in this world.
The "I am better than you" illusion just creates conflict and misery.

The happy winner creates many more unhappy perceived losers by the
very act of winning. What kind of person wants to intentionally make a
lot of people unhappy? Why do people even want to play a game that
creates just one or a few lucky happy winners and many unlucky,
unhappy losers?

What is good about that? Yet, the world of the mind makes people think
it is good.

People that think they are better than others are worse than others.

It has caused wars. The Germans thought they were superior, the master
race. People can see the evil in that, but they cannot see the same evil in
themselves and others. Thinking you are better or trying to be better just
makes you a jerk.

No one is better than anyone else Is; there are just people that know
the truth and people that do not. There are spiritual beings
and phonies.

213

www.truthcontest.com

Even having the desire to be superior to others is a manifestation of
your devil mind. Instead of trying to be superior to others, you should be
trying to be a superior being. Spiritual beings do not want to be above or
below others, just equal. Wanting to be better than others is kid stuff; it
is time to grow up.

There is no better or worse; there are just those that know the truth and
those that do not. The concept of better is a deception of the mind.

Equal but different: Being equal does not make us the same; the
opposite is true. We will be more different from one another than we are
now. When you are free and equal, you are inspired and free to express
yourself, so you do.

Showoff: People that show off their wealth hurt other people by making
them feel inferior. What kind of person does a thing that makes people
feel bad?

A spiritual being does not want to be superior to other people.

Superior being: There are superior states of consciousness, but that is
the only thing that really matters. Thus, just always be as conscious as
you can be, and you will be the best you can be. It really has nothing to
do with anyone else.

Superiority is not the goal. The truth, the life, and complete
fulfillment are.

Things change: Even if you get into a position that gives you the
illusion of being better than others are, it is just temporary. The balance
will swing the other way and cause you to be the opposite, so why play
that mind game?

Success can only be something that can exist for everyone all
the time.

Fame: Look at me! Look at me! Fame is childish. People that want a lot
of attention, especially from strangers, are immature and empty inside.
Fame takes away your privacy and puts you in a false world.

214

www.truthcontest.com

People are doing any crazy thing they can to get on TV, even crime.
People risk their lives and even hurt other people and themselves just to
get attention. That creep who killed John Lennon is an example of how
bad some people want fame.

People want attention from others, because it makes them feel loved
and important, but it is just a passing illusion. It makes them emptier
when they are alone.

Spiritual people have the total attention of God/life and do not need
attention from other peoples' minds to make them feel important or
loved. They have the attention of life itself.

Getting attention from other people does bring you into the present a
little more and make you feel more alive for a short while. People that

are looking at you are giving you a little bit of their life, and you are
giving them a little bit of your life. You are sharing the present for a
while. There is nothing wrong with it, if you know the truth. This is why it
feels good to act in or watch a live play or concert, but it can hurt you
more than it can help you if you do not know the truth.

If you know the truth, you can take it or leave it, but if you need fame or
attention from others, it is just like a drug, only worse.

Fame will be balanced with loneliness. If you are getting a lot of
attention, it means the opposite will happen to balance it, so what is
the point?

You can get a lot more attention by just opening up to the truth and the
life. You get all the attention there is, and you can have it forever. You
can keep your privacy and not have any stalkers or other fools in
your life.

Success is like death. The more successful you become, the
higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
Kevin Spacey

215

www.truthcontest.com

People that crave fame and attention are people that do not know
the truth.

Fame and fortune will leave you cold and empty. It is another trick of the
mind. All people that live in their minds, including famous people, are
literally wasting their lives. There is nothing worse. Missing life is the
definition of sin.

Why do the rich have a higher percentage of suicides than the
poor do?

If being rich is so great, why do so many of them kill themselves? If you
watch the TV program "Curse of the Lottery," you will see worst case
scenarios of people going off the deep end because of money. What
you do not see on the program is the majority of winners that do not
completely ruin their lives, but the money screws their life up also. Big
money usually breaks up friends and family and sends you down the
low road.

Reality TV: There is very little reality on reality TV. TV shows that are
supposed to show rich people in there normal life are BS. The truth is, it
is a set up to look better than their real life is. Just the camera being
there makes them play to it and try to make things interesting. The truth
is, their life is much worse and much more boring than what they show
you. Rich looks good on TV, a lot better than it really is.

Fling: If you have never had a lot of money before and you get a lot of
money, it is okay to have a spending fling to balance your years of
poverty a little, and learn that money is not the dream come true you
thought it would be.

After you see it is not that great, you have to get rid of it before you
become addicted to it. If you have a fling, it is like playing with hard
drugs or fire, and you could get burned, so do not do it for too long.

Like a drug, it will feel great at first, and then it will feel less good as time
goes on. You have to stop right when it no longer feels that good and
starts causing problems, or you will become addicted and be lost.

"The Present - Insights"

Money or Life

Jesus said, "The devil will put you in prison."

People have misinterpreted that saying and used it to mean that the
early Christians would be put into jail for their belief in Jesus, but he was
referring to the mental prison created by deception and wealth.

Gilded cage: The thought is that money will give you more freedom,
and it does in one sense, but in another more important sense, it
entraps you and takes away more freedom than it gives you. You have
to do things, be places and deal with people all the time, and it takes up
all your life doing it. You have to dress and act and live a certain way,
and that is not freedom. You are like a bird in a gilded cage. The truth is,
unneeded things own you more than you own them. It forces you to do
many things just to live that life.

You have to get honest with yourself and be able to ask yourself if your
lifestyle is really fulfilling you. If it is not, you have to admit it, and try
another direction.

Do not play the game: Just do not play the get rich and successful
game. Play the "let's get to heaven" game instead. You cannot win one,
and you cannot lose the other. Which is better?

Your money or your life? It is your choice.

The person that dies with the most toys loses. If you do not have
many toys and the money needed to support that lifestyle, you can
know the truth and the life, which changes everything for the better.

Greed is not good unless it is greed for the truth and the life.

In the popular movie Wall Street, Gordon Gecko says that greed is good,
and it was the slogan of the nineteen eighties. Where are those people
now? Greed may or may not work in the short term, but it will destroy you
in the long run. Since we are immortal, the long run is going to come.

The American system is powered on greed and the need to show other
people we are better than they are, showing up the Joneses. It has
taken us to where we are now, so it is a good thing that it happened, but
if it keeps happening, we are all dead. Our economy will grow much
faster and bigger living in the truth.

217

www.truthcontest.com

Doom: It should start to become obvious to people that a system
powered on greed and vanity is not good and will lead to our doom.

We need a system powered by the truth and life; it is that simple.

Money is the root of all evil for those that do not know the truth. It
consumes your life; you try to get more and keep what you have.

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the
greater part of his life getting his living. Henry David Thoreau

We dedicate most of our lives to keep and improve a lifestyle that
requires ever-greater amounts of money and is less and less fulfilling. It
puts you in a sleep state that makes waking up impossible.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.
Henry David Thoreau

Chasing rainbows: First, people run towards the dream of getting rich,
and then they have to run to stay rich. It is just like chasing rainbows or
the horizon; it moves away from you as you move towards it, so you can
never quite get there.

You spend your life running after something that is impossible to reach.
You sacrifice your true life for a dream that can never come true.

You can live a never-ending dream or never-ending life, one or
the other.

People spend all their time chasing things that are impossible to catch,
and fighting battles when they are certain to lose. Could anything be
less intelligent? This is why Jesus said that it is impossible for the rich to
get to heaven.

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no
greater guilt than discontentment, and there is no greater disaster
than greed. Lao Tzu

Re-program: We lived in a state of scarcity for millions of years. We did
not have the necessities of life most of the time, so our minds have
been programmed to get and hoard as much as we can. We are no
longer in a state of scarcity, and we have to re-program our minds to
realize it and take advantage of this rare situation. If we do not, we will
go back to scarcity. If we do re-program ourselves, we will never live in
scarcity again.

218

www.truthcontest.com

Excess: It is like sugar, salt, and fat. We could never get enough of it in

the past, so now that we can get all we need, we crave more and more,
and it is ruining our health. It is a natural thing for the pendulum to swing
from scarcity to excess.

It is the same with money; it stems from the time we did not have the
basics to survive, so we had to have money just to survive. Now that it
is comparatively easy to get the basics, people are overshooting.
People just keep getting more and more, not realizing that having more
than they need is harmful to them.

Money is like water; you need it to survive, but too much can
drown you.

Dreaming in the past was essential to our survival. It created the
world we now live in, so it was necessary, but now that it is not, we
continue to dream, and it is causing us to miss true life. It will lead to our
extinction on this planet.

Come to you: Instead of chasing rainbows, you just let life come to you.

We are at the crossroad, and if we do not wake up, we will miss
the turnoff.

It is our life in the distant past, the millions of years our bodies and
minds evolved that has programmed our minds to do what they do. It is
in our genetic code.

Once we wake up to the truth, everything will begin to change. This is
why the truth is the most important thing that there is. It is our most
valuable asset, our only real asset. Our brains are not programmed for
the present.

Even if money did fulfill you, you cannot take it with you when
you die.

Ultimate success: You have to keep in mind how short life is and how
important what you do in this short period is to achieve the ultimate
success in life. It is the only real success there is. You cannot lose sight
of this truth.

There is no success and failure; there are just those that know the truth,
and those that do not. The concept of success and failure is a deception
of the mind.

219

Smart: We have lived as animals for over seven-hundred million years.
We just have to live like something better than an animal for a few years
to leave the animal realm forever and go to a heaven. What would be
the smart thing to do?

Jesus said, "The glories of this realm last only a moment; the
glories of the heavenly realm abide forever."

Skip the "things": Why not just skip the "things" and go right to
happiness, right to true life? Why not cut out the expensive and
unnecessary middleman that gives you nothing but false expectations?

Jesus said, "The kingdom of God will not come by expectation. It
is spread upon the earth and men do not see it."

Happiness or fulfillment is just a state of mind, or more accurately, a
state of no-mind, which you can have anytime you want. True life gives
you free happiness, and it is always in the present (see the drawing).
You just have to wake up.

Life is filled with free things, and all things are the same if you can see
them without the judgment of the mind. The mind tells you which things
have value and which things do not. If you look at things without the
judgment of the mind, they are all valuable in one way or another. Since
what goes around comes around, you have to find a way to love it all, or
you can never be fulfilled all the time.

A ten-dollar lamp will make a spiritual being happier than one
covered with diamonds will make a mortal happy.

Things always look better than they are; you just have to have them.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but when
you get there, you realize it is just a mirage, an illusion. The grass is just
as green where you are.

The more you acquire, the more you desire.

Even if the grass is greener, it is relative, and the mind does not let you
enjoy anything for very long. "Things" are always a letdown eventually.
Things are not worth what they cost. You do not just pay with money,
the true price is true life.

220

www.truthcontest.com

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life, which is
required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
Henry David Thoreau

People are sacrificing their life chasing a dream that does not
really exist.

Even if it did exist, it is a dream. That by definition means you have to
be asleep to liave it. People are chasing illusions and missing what they
really want and need in the process. We can now see through the
illusion and begin to wake up.

Dreams and things: Spiritual beings do not need "things" to be happy.
The mind is very needy and never lets you be very happy, because
there is always something missing, always something the mind wants,
that it has dreamed about, and you do not have it.

Someone always has a bigger more expensive house than you do,
and that bothers people that care about "things."

I know it bothered me. I would look across the bay through my
telescope at the houses on the other side and think, "I need one of
those." The people over there were looking at my house through their
telescopes and thinking the same thing.

Big fish: The big fish can and do eat the little fish. If human beings
behave like fish in this life, they will go to a place after they die where
they can do it for millions of years. I do not think anyone likes it
that much.

The root of all evil: A lot of money creates the illusion, the deceptions.
It is one of the devil/mind's greatest tools. People say it is not the tool of
the devil because it can be used for good as well as for bad things, but
they are missing the truth.

"Evil" is "live" spelled backwards for a reason. It is a sign that tells
us the way. The way is to live true life, because it is the opposite
of evil.

221

www.truthcontest.com

The hidden evil: It is what money does to the people that think they
need it, not what it does to others. It makes true life impossible. Money
makes spiritual evolution impossible for the people that need it for
power, self-worth, and luxuries. The Bible says, the love of money is
the root of all evil.

Money is the worst evil, because the illusion created is the
most powerful.

There is a way out: If you want to evolve spiritually, you just have to
give the money you do not need to other people that do need it. There is
no other way.

Ignorance, the beast within, and the illusion of power is the root of
all evil.

The uncontrolled mind is the root of all evil, but money is what gives the
uncontrolled mind power. The devil/mind, in combination with money,
will send more people to hell (the bottom of the evolutionary cycle) than
anything else.

We have to change from "I, me, mine" to "we, us, ours" or we
are dead.

Throughout history, people have been killing themselves and others to
get rich and powerful, and the sad thing is, when they get it, it is the
worst thing that can happen to them.

There are only two tragedies in life; one is not getting what one
wants, and the other is getting it. Oscar Wilde

People lie, cheat, rob, steal, betray friends and family, risk their lives
and the lives of others for the money that will hurt them more than it will
help them. The devil/mind is making fools out of just about everyone.
The mind has people trading their lives and the lives of others for death.

Be careful what you wish for, because you may just get it.

Why: Elvis may have been the most successful individual in history. He
had it all, fame, fortune, great looks, personality, etc. Why did he like to
stay in bed in a dark room better than doing anything else? He died on
the toilet; the king died on a throne, so to speak.

222

Howard Hughes was the richest man in the world. He dated the most
beautiful starlets, and he chose to do the same thing. Kurt Cobain
became a rocl< star almost overnight, the dream of millions of people,
and found he did not like it so much, and he killed himself.

The dream came true for these people. They had it all and did not want
it after awhile. They chose to live the life that any poor drug addict can
live, so why do people try so hard to get what they had?

If people who can do anything choose to do no more than a poor person
can do, it should tell us something. We should learn from them, and
stop wasting our time and life trying to do what they already did if they
did it and came up empty.

Rehab: Why do a higher percentage of the rich and famous have drug
and emotional problems? They are always bouncing in and out of
expensive rehab centers. What does this teach us?

Those people that have their dreams come true are very rare, but the
dream often turns into a nightmare in their current lifespan. If it does not,
it will turn into a nightmare in their next lifespan. It is the
ultimate deception.

The truth is, most people that become rich end up using their money to
just isolate themselves from the real world. They do the opposite of
what they need to do to be fulfilled and get to heaven.

Money dimensions: Having money and not having money at different
times in my life showed me some strange and unexpected things. One
of the things was how money, or the lack of it, puts you in a different
world or dimension, even though you live in the same neighborhood.

I remember living in Huntington Beach, California as a poor
surfer/stoner. I had a nice apartment close to the pier. The
neighborhood was a mix of new multi-million dollar houses and old,
classic, inexpensive houses. I liked the cheap houses better, because
they had personality.

What was strange is how I almost never saw the people that lived in the
new, million dollar houses, even though there were many of them on my
block. It was as if we lived in two different dimensions. My group of
surfer/stoners and I felt like we owned the neighborhood. The rich
people must have felt the same thing.

223

www.truthcontest.com

We were out in the street at all hours of the day and night playing like
kids. I had no idea what the rich people where doing, because I never
saw them. It was not as if it was age that made the difference, because
we had all ages in our group, and many of the people in the expensive
houses were younger than we were.

When I was one of those people in the expensive houses up the coast
in Long Beach, I realized the opposite was happening.

It was not just in that neighborhood; the separation was everywhere.
You worked in different places, shopped and ate in different places, etc.
When I had money, I never saw or noticed poor people. It was like there
were no poor people in the whole world, even though they were living all
around me. It was as if everyone had money, lived in a great house, and
drove an expensive car.

When I was poor, the opposite was true. I never saw the rich people
around me; it was as if everyone in the world was poor. Money
separates people, isolates people from each other and reality. It puts
large groups of people in literally different dimensions and worlds. This
is why we must all strive to be middle class; it is the only hope for the
truth to live.

Degrees of separation: Many things separate people: age, gender,
looks, religion, language, race, education, etc. We can overcome them
mentally by just knowing the truth, but money takes special attention.

If you can share the wealth with the less fortunate, the rest of the
illusions that separate people are easy to overcome.

The Wealth has a life of its own; it moves around like a snake.

Every time it moves (a deal is made), it makes some people very happy
and some people very unhappy. The people that get the deal are happy,
the ones that do not get the deal are unhappy. This happens every time
you sell or buy anything; someone wins and someone loses. It is a mini-
drama every time, and the more money you have, the more it moves,
and the more drama you have.

The unhappy people add up, and the happy people forget. This weighs
on your life, makes you less secure. You get bodyguards, assistants
and lawyers to help you feel more secure, but these inside people are
the most dangerous to you.

224

www.truthcontest.com

It is total madness, yet it is what most people spend their very
short lives working for and dreaming about, which makes it an
even greater tragedy.

Don't get me wrong; there are some great moments that you will
remember forever, but there are equal amounts of truly horrible
moments that you will not remember long. Therefore, you will keep
doing it, even after you have been through the mill more than once.
Only the ultimate truth will stop the insanity.

Insanity is doing what does not make you happy, over and
over again.

Intellectuals: Intellectuals do the same thing rich people do, only they
chase useless knowledge and use it to hide from the truth and the life.

The only source of knowledge is experience.
Albert Einstein

Useless knowledge: Not all knowledge is beneficial. It is the nature of
the mind to want to learn. This was a good thing in the past, but it is not
now. If knowledge does not help you learn the truth and the life or help
you get the necessities of life and stay alive, it is useless knowledge. If it
distracts you from the truth and the life, it is worse than useless; it is our
worst enemy.

The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except
what is worth knowing. Oscar Wilde

The Bible says in Revelations, people will run back and forth and
knowledge will increase. This is what is happening, and it will destroy
us, because knowledge is not wisdom, and running back and forth
destroys the environment.

It is a real insight and one of the few prophecies in the Bible that has
proven true. We are not running around like chickens with their heads
cut off. We are doing the opposite and living just as heads (minds) with
everything else cut off.

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the
knowledge we have lost in information? T.S. Eliot

225

www.truthcontest.com

There are a lot of walking encyclopedias out there. They know a million
things, but they do not know the truth and the life, the only thing that
matters. There are people that have memorized the whole Bible, but do
not understand what it is saying. This kind of knowledge hurts people
much more than it helps them.

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Chase life: If people chased the truth and the life like they are now
chasing money and useless knowledge, they would get what they
really want.

The person that dies with the most life wins.

It is not how much money or knowledge you have that matters; it is how
much life you have.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Henry David Thoreau

Mankind is actually very poor and destitute, especially the rich.

In the end, it is not the years in your life that count. It is the life in
your years. Abraham Lincoln

You can have everything and not be able to experience anything. A
spiritual being can have nothing and be able to experience everything.
Which is better?

The truth is, a person that knows the truth and the life will feel better
sitting on their porch than on the deck of a mega yacht. People who
need big, expensive things to feel good are pathetic and weak, the
opposite of what people think.

That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.
Henry David Thoreau

From a spiritual being's perspective and level of awareness, every
moment of life is the same. It is perfect and fulfilling. It is all life, all God.

Spiritual beings do not have to do anything to have everything.

226

www.truthcontest.com

Paradise: From minute to minute, everyone is the same, no matter how
much money they have. We all have to put our pants on one leg at a
time, as the saying goes. The most successful person is the one that is
receiving the most life, the most fulfillment, while putting their pants on
or doing anything.

The one that feels the ground when they walk, the one that feels the
breeze on their cheek, the sun on their back, the one that hears, smells,
and sees the most is the most successful. Wealth makes it impossible
to open up completely.

It is not what you look at that matters, it is what you see.
Henry David Thoreau

All we have is life, so the one that gets the most of it wins. If the mind
would just let people see this truth, the world would become a paradise
for everyone.

Material success and great wealth does not change the human
condition enough to sacrifice your immortal soul for it. True
or false?

Climb a mountain: You do not have to get a lot of money or knowledge
or climb a mountain, cross an ocean, be a hero, win a gold medal, be
beautiful or do anything other than live life completely to get to heaven.
You do not need anything you do not always have. Anyone can have it
all, at any age, at any time.

The mind tells you that you need; the spirit tells you that you have.

The mind tells you that you have to do this or that, be this or that. The
truth is you do not have to do anything or be anything. All you have to
do is truly live your life as it is being given to you, and all you need is the
absolute truth to do it.

The good life is living true life, and that is the simple and
absolute truth.

You just have to be yourself, where you are, with what you have to
succeed. It is not hard; it is easy. It is not complicated; it is simple.
People just have to wake up to the truth, and they will get it all and be
saved from the animal realm.

227

www.truthcontest.com

Once high profile rich people, movie stars, and other celebrities
see the light, things will begin to change much faster.

As Jesus said, "That which is hidden from the wise and educated has
been revealed unto babes" (the open minded).

Money is not everything, the truth and the life is everything.
You choose.

When you start giving and living a spiritual life, you really do not give up
anything. You gain much more happiness than the things you gave up,
gave you. The opposite of what you expect to happen, happens. You do
it for selfish reasons.

Money is not worth the price; the price is your immortal life.

The bottom line: If you do not know the truth, getting rich makes you
feel a little better for a few short years, but it is not worth true life now
and forever. If you know the truth, you feel better than money can make
you feel, not for just a few years, but forever. Which way to live makes
more sense?

Jesus said, those that give shall receive and will get a hundred
fold back.

He is not saying you will receive other "things" back, like most people
think; he means you receive true life back. You get what you really want
and need directly.

Why not just skip needing "things" and go directly to having
happiness?

If you are rich and do not want to give it up, you do not have to, but
you will be what you do not want to be now in your next life. That
is fair, isn't it?

Wake up: When people wake up, they will no longer be motivated by
money, power, fame, or the fear of failure or weakness. These mental
problems have powered all material progress up until now. When the
truth is seen, this world will turn into a heaven almost by itself. Everyone
will be forgiven for what they did in the past, because it was necessary
to get here. It will all be worth it if we wake up.

Dog Heaven

(By the author of "The Present" and the webmaster ofwww.truthcontest.com)

Happy dog, happy life: There is a saying that goes "happy wife, happy
life." In other words, if your mate or people you live with are happy, it will
be reflected back at you. The problem is, that is easier said than done.
You cannot make someone else happy all the time, if they are human.
That is not true with dogs. If you do a few things that everyone can do,
you can have a living creature in your house that is blissful all or most of
the time, and that will be reflected back at you. So if you want a happy
life, get a dog and do what this page says to do.

Dogs have spiritually evolved faster than humans. Look at them
physically; they have fangs and paws, just like a wolf, but they give
unconditional love, the greatest characteristic of what religions call God.
Dog is God spelled backwards. They alone of all the animals on earth
have chosen love over their wild animal instincts. They have been sent
from God, or the spirit of love, to help us, to teach us and show us it can
be done. The beast can be overcome, even if you are in the body of one
of the cruelest of all killers in the animal kingdom.

It may be impossible to create a heaven for people on earth, but we can
do it for our pets, particularly dogs and cats. Because we can do this,
we can get a little heaven reflected back at us from our pets. Dogs don't
have as many of the mental problems that humans do. If you do the
thinking for them, they can actually experience a heaven on earth and
not have any pain, fear, or knowledge of death, which are the main
reasons humans can't have heaven on earth. Our job is to create a
heaven for all living creatures, and since we can't do it for humans, we
do it for our dogs. Dogs are the only creature we can do it for right now,
so we do it just because we can. Every person and/or family unit should
eventually have at least two dogs, because they like each others'
company. If you have two, get at least one from the pound (fully grown).
Extra spiritual points for rehabilitating a dog that needs it.

Creating a lieaven for otiiers is tlie way we get to heaven ourselves.

1 . Estimated number of dogs in US:

78.2 million, 4/10 households own at least one dog.

2. Estimated dollars spent on pets:

$55.53 billion (money well spent, you get the present back)

3. Estimated time it took for wolves to evolve into modern dogs:
40,000 years

Throughout our evolutionary history, dogs have been great companions
and friends to humans. We shared our food, and they helped protect us
from wild beasts and other threats by being an early warning system. They
would bark and wake us up, giving us time to get to our weapons. Once we
had a weapon, we could protect ourselves and the dogs from animals that
would kill us separately. We helped each other survive and evolve through
some very harsh times living outdoors. Now, we continue to help each
other evolve, but in a much better way, a more spiritual way as opposed to
pure survival. Dogs show us the life, and humans show dogs the truth.

It's pretty simple. You just think about and focus on how to make them
happy. You devote yourself to it. You should keep your life as simple as
possible, focus on your work, your home, and your dog. You do everything
for their health and well-being, including vet visits (shots, medicine,
spay/neuter) and good food (preferably homemade). You share small
amounts of table scraps to demonstrate sharing and to show them they are
part of the pack. Take them with you when you go for a ride or out to the
store when you can, and let them hang their head out the window. They
should get at least one good walk per day, and free running inside a
fenced area or open field away from the road at least once per week. You
don't need a yard, but a yard would be nice to have. They should sleep in
the house and have their own bed right next to where you sleep. At
Walmart, you can get different colored blackout curtains that are long
enough and as wide as doorways to cover doorways to bedrooms, so you
can leave your door open and the dogs can come and go, and you will still
have privacy and keep air conditioning just in your bedroom.

Routine: Dogs and cats, but especially dogs, thrive on routine. Wake up at
a certain time, go to bed at a certain time, eating, walks, etc. Routine is
good for truth seekers and pets. It makes a more comfortable, predictable
world. With people, it takes thinking about what and when to do tilings out of
your life. The less you think and the more comfortable and predictable your
life, the easier it is to live in the present.

Brush and groom them as needed to keep the oils on their skin going
and to keep them from getting too itchy. Use a rubber "curry brush" for
short-haired dogs, because it works well and is like a massage. Treat
them as one of the family, pet them and love them a lot. You can
become one with your dog a lot better than you can with people. Be soul
mates, so that dog goes on the path with you, and either becomes a
human in the next life, or goes right to heaven with you.

Never give them cooked bones or anything they could choke on. Make
sure they have plenty of toys for chewing and playing. When they want
to play, play with them a little bit; always take time to play with your
dogs and get in the present with them. Put yourself in their skin and
imagine what it's like to feel what they feel.

If you are not allergic to cats, you should have a cat or two and train your
dogs to get along with them. The inter-species relationship makes for even
more presence and livelihood in your environment, and it trains the dogs
and cats to be more gentle and accepting of other living creatures.

When you walk them and when you are with them, they help you live in
the present, because they live in the present. The better the quality of
their life, the better quality your life will be. The more you focus on their
life being good, the more your life will be good. They keep you at home,
keep you from going out too much, out of bars, etc. You have a
companion always and unconditional love always.

Taking the dogs out should not be seen as a chore. You should try to
enjoy the walk as much as the dogs do, get into the present with them.
Imagine what it is like to be in their skin and fur, with their strong
senses. It is good exercise, good for your health and the dogs health.
Lack of exercise is a major problem in America. See it as an enjoyable,
important part of your days. Take your time, 5 minute minimum, even if
they do their potty business quickly. Stop and smell the roses.

Dogs could be people reincarnated; we could go back and forth
between dog and human, take turns. In past evolution, human beings
and dogs/wolves went back and forth from predator and prey, but now
that humans have evolved into mankind and wolves have evolved into
modern dogs, humans go back and forth with dogs.

ourselves in a way tliat is better tlian tlie vet does it. We are lool<ing for
a way to get cliloroform, or to mal<e it. We would lil<e to liave a way to
anesthetize an injured or siGl< dog for the ride to the vet, and even come
up with something for police and animal control to have to put dogs and
cats under when they encounter one hit by a car. It is on our to-do list.
We do not want dogs to have pain and fear at the end of their life or
when they are really sick or injured.

With dogs and other animals, it is not how long they live that matters,
because they live in the present and have no concept of time. It is the
quality of life they have and the way they go that counts. With people
following the way of Jesus, it is okay to go hard as he did, because you
know the truth of life (note: as it says in the book, you can check out easy
with opiates and/or other drugs if you have that option). With animals, it is
important for them to go with a minimum of fear and pain. That is why we
are working on the best way to do it. You also want to be with them at the
end, be the last thing they see and hear. You do not just leave them at the
vet as most people do. You should make arrangements with your vet in
advance to provide the best situation possible.

If you don't have a dog or a lifestyle that would support a dog,
make it happen as soon as possible.

To do list:

Show them love, touch and play with them, never show violence toward them.
Make them wholesome, homemade food and treats whenever possible.
Take them on at least one good walk per day (at least 15 minutes).
Use a 16 foot retractable leash for walks to give the dogs some moving freedom.
Let them run loose in a fenced area, dog park, or open field at least once
per week.

Buy them a comfortable dog bed and put it right next to your bed.

Brush and groom them as needed to keep their skin and coat healthy and cozy.

Keep their shots up to date and give them flea/tick and heartworm medicine.

Check between toes for ticks and in ears and everywhere else.

Take their collars off before bed unless there is a safety concern (they can

get out).

Give them a bath about once per month.
Buy them some toys to play with.

Give them dental treats or dear antlers to help with teeth cleaning.

Our dogs are best friends and are always with at least one human who
knows about the dog heaven effort. They each have their own very
comfortable dog bed that is right next to a human bed. Every day, they
wake us up with lots of love and licks, and are taken outside together for a
short morning walk to do their business. They come back inside and are
fed good quality kibble in the morning, as well as some small tastes of
human breakfast. They are taken on a walk every day around noon that is
at least 15 minutes, and most of the time, they get to run around in a
fenced yard or open field (closely supervised) during this hour with
neighbor dogs. They are not "well-trained" and require a lot of attention to
walk, but giving attention to the truth and our dogs is what we do anyway.

At night, they are fed homemade food, which consists of a lean ground
meat like turkey, with vegetables like broccoli, peas, and carrots made into
a puree, brown rice, and fish oil all mixed together. Mashed sweet potatoes
or pumpkin make a perfect, easy and healthy side dish. They really enjoy
this food and lick their bowls clean every time, eating all the remaining
kibble in the process.

Although we are firm at times and use anger as a tool of communication,
we are never really angry and never hit the dogs. We always discourage
aggressive animal behavior, like fighting over toys or food. They always
have good toys for chewing and tug-o-war, and we take some time to play
with them every day, even though they usually play with each other.
Overall, we do the thinking for them and keep them out of dangerous
situations while letting them enjoy their sensory experience without being
too restrictive or commanding. We give them truth, they give us life.

God is in dog. If you want to get close to God, get close to a dog.

Dogs have been walking the path with humans literally for over 40,000
years. They walked the dirt paths through forests with us, and now they
are on our path out of the animal realm.

Remember that your dog is an animal and will act like one sometimes. Even if
your dog gets worked up and bites you, you do not bite them back or respond
to violence with violence. You yell at them to let them know you are hurt, and
when they get over their spell, you give them love and hugs. You always set
the example, and show animals how a divine being acts.

Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and
your dog would go in. Mark Twain
